...controlling his company, has allowed it to fabricate from the script a bundle of whimsical gestures. The voices, like the costumes, are loud, strident, and oblivious to the world around them. People rush into roles and lines often without the slightest appreciation of what the playwright is trying to convey...

Anthony Mainionis' Haemon is adequate but somewhat colorless. Marian Hailey manages sufficiently to convey the weak-willed and vacillating Ismene--"infirm of purpose," to use Lady Macbeth's taunt. Antigones are rare, but Ismenes are a dime a dozen. Jane Farnol brings a good deal of warmth to the role of Antigone's devoted and solicitous old nurse. Richard Castellano, Edward Rutney, and Garry Mitchell, dressed in blue uniforms with red stripes, are fine as the three guards, who represent the majority of society; they are part of Creon's "featherheaded rabble." They are hard-drinking, vulgar-tongued, card-playing...

It is not their fault that they fail to convey much individuality; Shakespeare was interested in their situations, not their personalities...

Despite the space-age image that Houston seeks to convey, a group of businessmen has hired shotgun squads to protect their retail establishments from the holdup men-called hijackers in Texas-who have been terrorizing the town. The need was obvious. There was an average of 190 armed robberies a month last year. During the first four months of 1967, the figure leaped to 290. The police department, starved for funds by a penurious local government, has been of little help. Other cities of 1,000,000 or more have an average police-citizenry ratio of about...
