...traditional Southern bigot, though Jeremy Rabinovitz contorts his own face to better effect as Cotchipee's wimpy-yet-enlightened son. As these two and others draw Purlie into more and more awkward predicaments, one realizes LaVergne's repertoire of emotions is limited to a few gestures--a frown and shake of the head for disappointment, and a recurrent toss of the shoulders to suggest the determined faith that is ostensibly Purlie's defining characteristic...
