...political reasons are hardly uncommon in most academic communities. Young assistant professors who are self-professed Marxists often find that their efforts to expose students to radical alternatives as well as traditional, pro-capitalist theories result in failure to receive tenure. Usually the political motivation behind tenure denials is masked by objective criteria (e.g., poor teaching performance, insufficient scholarly publication) that are legally acceptable grounds for dismissal. However, at Boston Stage College as case of tenure has arisen where the mask is so thin it fails to hide what can only be termed a flagrant violation of academic freedom...
...that he is confident he can do well. Silvia Anglin (Felicity) clings to her range, Corliss Blount (Snow) to her bitterness. Felipe Noguera turns in a good performance as Archibald, staring at members of the audience with a fierce, chilling concentration. Rod Clark renders a marvelously subtle Diouf; his mask segments are precise and perfect. Michael Russell (Village) deals well with the most difficult part in the play; his character is almost totally reliant on feedback from others and the quality of his performance varies predictably depending on whom he is speaking to at the moment.

Ambler was the popular novelist of the left during the thirties, although two well-known movies made from this period, Journey Into Fear (with Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles) and Mask of Dimitrios (with Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet), weeded subversion out. But then Ambler changed. After 1940 he didn't write a book for eleven years. He was in charge of propaganda films for the British Army until 1946, and spent a few years writing screenplays (e.g., Monsarrat's The Cruel Sea). In 1951 a disillusioned Ambler, returned with Judgement on Deltchev, about a political trial in Eastern Europe...
