...Smith as the Politician (who is supposed to be Sen. Joseph McCarthy) gives new meaning to the word corrupt. His Southern drawl oozes with slime and blackmail. Despite his choir boy looks and white summer suit, he has the moral code of a modern-day Mephistopheles...
Streetcaris a psychological drama of immense power, and Rosencranz's cast manages to bring that power to the stage. As the audience grows accustomed to the drama's Southern drawl, it begins to hear the sharp undertones of the seemingly ordinary lives on stage.

The combination is hilarious but effective; it makes you want to get up and stomp, perhaps on a small animal...
