Translating Genet's complex ideas, patterns, and symbols into a coherent performance appears an almost overwhelming task, but Aaron has managed it. His skill in shaping the play by guiding the actors to proper emphasis at the proper moment is that of a master. Masterly, too, is his ingenuity in placing the cast in an almost endless sequence of exciting visual patterns within the limits of John Ratte's fine...
