Seven people were killed, including Linda Frazier, 38, an American journalist who worked for an English-language newspaper in San Jose. Among the 28 injured was Pastora, who suffered first-and second-degree burns on his face and shrapnel wounds in his legs.

This stylization moves the play closer to Brechtian irony than to Greek tragedy. Jones, played with grim conviction by Richard Kneeland, is not a satanic Pied Piper but a drug-addicted preacher with delusions of grandeur. His followers are not pathetic flotsam but all too recognizable products...
