...sets by Webster Lithgow were imaginative without being distracting. Michyl Veach's costumes not only covered the required territory, but occasionally added to the local color. Director James Paul paced the play with a properly professional skill. Some very bright behind-the-scenes work was done by choreographer Liz Keen. Miss Keen is not only imaginative, but she fully exploited the possibilities of her dubious dancers...

The half dozen shots fired in the play are startling in their loudness, but very effective, and the lighting, displaying Jones but leaving the jungle nearly black, achieves a difficult effect with skill. Lastly, the off-stage tom-tom pounder, Jack Hyman, should be congratulated for his faithful creation of the most memorable effect in the play...
