...regular season's opening game, the Giants "exploded" against the St. Loius Cardinals for 41 points, including five touchdown passes by quarterback Phil "The one with the two M's" Simms. Wide receiver Earnest Gray caught four of those passes to set a new Giants' record. Al Garrett returned a punt 66 yards. They even won the game...
...OTHER real weakness is Andrew Garrett's aquiline Becket, whose performance has an "almost good enough" quality that can't sustain a play that trucks in religious certitudes. Garrett's enunciation is excellent, his modulation poor; annoyingly, his voice turns nasal at the most inopportune moments--a saint with a stuffed nose.

The inserted songs, somewhat reedily rendered by Stark; the stage-manager as chorus, marvelously narrated by clarion-voiced Andrew Garrett; the use of scene titles--all wed form with geography to good effect. Director Thomas Seoh might have exploited this exotic influence more extravagantly with stilts or wire-hoops. Seoh seemed a bit diffident about taking such directorial prerogatives...
