...play, Mister Johnson's death has not quite enough of Mister Johnson's life behind it, and seems, though genuinely moving, a little bit wheeled into place. Yet the play's great and steady virtue is that Mister Johnson is always flesh and blood and not just a personalized symbol. It is also a great virtue of the production that Earle Hyman plays the role with particular suppleness as well as appeal. As Mister Johnson's heartsick British judge and executioner, William Sylvester plays well too, and William and Jean Eckart have evocatively mounted the play...

...stand in front of a full-length mirror and look at yourself. Be brave, for this is going to be a shock." It is likely to be more than that-in view of the dreadful revelation of "bulges in the wrong places." a ghastly "sag" in the abdomen, the flesh "flabby" overall, and blown up bolsterwise into "a roll around the midriff," the "splotchy, sallow" skin, the "dull, faded, gray, stringy" hair, the "red-rimmed, bloodshot, dark-circled" eyes, the "rough, red, chapped" hands. Questions come flooding to the smeared lips: "Do you need a deodorant?" "Do you use meaningless...
