Answering questions from the audience that are designed to give Whitey the message about Black Power, he is more of a bore than a bombshell after the antics of the five clowns. The entire cast has been with the play since the beginning-including a four-month run in Los Angeles' embattled Watts district.

Childie belies her name-she has abandoned the illegitimate child she bore at 15 and is now herself a slow 32 years old. As for Mercy, she has no character at all; her external priggishness cloaks a savage Sapphic hunger. George is promptly cast out of the triangle and crawls, wounded, to obscurity. Her new job: the voice of a puppet called Clarabelle...
