...version of the key signers of the Declaration of Independence, together with the sometimes abrasive, sometimes soporific deliberations of the Second Continental Congress. With a practically nonexistent musical score, the show brings the heroic, tempestuous birth of a nation down to a feeble vaudevillian jape. One need pay no heed to the fact that it won a Tony award, but some playgoers apparently still...

Today's dropouts, however, are activists, whose purpose is not to shun the Establishment but to challenge and change it. The men on Skid Row would never understand that: all they ever asked of the Establishment...
