...pushed up Irvine Turner Boulevard, past the vibrant bars and vacant lots, the charged night air began to sound with sharp rifle-like cracks and shrieking sirens. But these weren't the sounds of National Guard guns and police sirens that accompanied Newark's demise for five, hot, summer days in 1967, rather the staccato drum beats of the band were loud enough to set off blaring car alarms in the vehicles we marched beside. Heads poked out of upstairs windows and front doors opened in the public housing townhouses as people paused to watch the commotion pass...
...these filmmakers are bumping into one another at the crossroads of Independence Highway and Career Boulevard. At this intersection there are many collisions, some artistically fatal. Directors can take the small-and-noble path, which may consign them to the fringe approval of the critics. Or they can take go Hollywood.

The setting has been shifted from northern England to 1950s Louisiana, which allows the mostly British cast--particularly the children--to offer up some of the weirdest Southern accents ever heard on stage. Yet the clash of Bible Belt bigotry and Elvis-era rebellion provides a credible framework for the parable...
