Clearly, Harvard lacks what Dartmouth Senior Associate Dean of Students Ngina Lythcott calls a "cross-cultural coalition" of feminists, Jews, gays and students of color--a coalition that makes for "a sophisticated level of student politics," she says of the campus that, of course, is also home to the Dartmouth Review...
...same ways, the white heroine Janie (Hilary Jean Beane) is the most pathetic of all. Bullins has drawn a masterly portrait of a befuddled, innocent, college-educated liberal. She professes to admire the poems of Monty (Adeyami Lythcott), her eventual rapist. But it is clear that she is drawn to a black man as by an intoxicating musk and a not-so-fantasied danger.

...beautifully modulated performance, Hilary Jean Beane makes an acting debut of striking promise. Dropping her real middle name is the only improvement one can think of. Adeyami Lythcott plays Monty with swaggering ease and power, and the entire supporting cast is exemplary.
