...country to withdraw from a U.S. drama festival as a protest against their government, they had to choose between the punitive wrath of South African officials and the equally ruinous ostracization by their peers. Bonafede's narrative does little more than state the problem with heartbreaking clarity. But his crisp, clever dialogue, enhanced by the enchanting performances of Tom Wright and Delroy Lindo, brings out all the poignancy of an enforced privacy for those vulnerable people whose life is, above all else, their very public...
