...parallel path to the future could be the enactment of a farsighted bill that has been proposed for the last two years by Connecticut's Senator Abraham Ribicoff. Although it has twice been defeated, on this year's vote it was supported by every potential Democratic presidential nominee in the Senate. After four years of pilot testing and planning, Ribicoff's plan would give every metropolitan area?North or South?a deadline of ten years to make minority representation in each of its schools equal to at least half the percentage of minority-group students in the area...

The only original moment comes at the very end when an additional plot twist gives us our illusion-reality theme in a slightly different perspective. But by then it's too late. The entire production is bogged down and almost destroyed by being presented as a reading, either because of lack of rehearsal time or because the magical effects were simply too difficult. The actors had trouble acting and reading at the same time, and Maideg Bouchery was simply too Transylvanian to be believed...
