Just as Carpenter fails to take advantage of the city, he also forfeits the prodigious potential of his characters, particularly that of Isaac Hayes, who plays the Duke of New York. His ebony dome intact from the days of Shaft and his other forays into the Blaxploitation genre, Hayes could be a marvelously evocative figure--instead, he comes off as a dummy with about three lines and a shiny forehead and automobile. Hayes can't really complain; the whole script can't run more than about ten pages...
...results amounted to a sweeping purge of the party's middle-level leadership. The eleven-man Politburo emerged from the voting largely intact, losing two full members and two alternates. Far heavier losses were sustained by the Central Committee, which is still dominated by holdovers from the regime of deposed Party Boss Edward Gierek: less than a third of its 146 members were chosen.

Then, the play seemed to belong to the "kitchen sink" school of regurgitative grievances-today, it celebrates spunk. This revival, which off-Broadway's Roundabout Theater has transferred intact to Broadway's Century Theater, is taut, vital, moving and funny. An admirable cast threads reality through the needle's eye of truth...
