...Fool, manage to make fleeting passes at reality. David Reynolds deftly plays the Fool's role, a delicate balance weighing the outward frivolity of events against the startling depth of folly. He captures the irony and the sadness of the Clown's state and his success does much to convey the play's more serious overtones...

It failed to convey the fact that the Second Indochina War was more than the unfortunate mistake of otherwise good-hearted liberals, and that U.S. capitalists, as partners in international development agencies and multinational corporations, intend to continue their attempt to direct South Vietnam's resources, government, and economy for American benefit...
