Michael Laurence dominates the stage in the role of a Council member who goads the crowd against the blind man and the girl. In the play's climax, Helen, played by Connaught O'Connel, stands at the edge of the stage speaking to the horse and its Greek occupants.

The doctor himself, as played by Donald Stewart, is truly an outstanding performance. He transfers himself so completely into the part, he believes so implicitly in his ideals, that it is difficult not to regard the play...
