...historical parks across the U.S., tiny museum-piece schoolhouses, with belfry, potbellied stove and initial-scarred benches, set city-bred youngsters to speculating about how "cute" the one-teacher, one-room school must have been. Yet for a surprising number of children, this kind of school is neither quaint nor historical: they attend one daily.

The dramatic penury of the current play may be suggested by the fact that it relies for its climax on an offstage sound effect of prepubescent outhouse humor...
