THIS ARCHETYPAL quality, like the rest of the play, comes through tonight's Loeb Ex production beautifully. Occasionally Cindy Rosenwald, the director, seems to seek it explicitly--in a stylized slapstick quarrel between the governor's son's two frightened doctors, for example. But just as effectively, most of the time she lets it grow naturally out of the comedy of the play--in Grusha's marriage with a purportedly dying peasant, for instance, where the musicians have to play "something that could be either a subdued Wedding March or a spirited Funeral Dirge." Rosenwald even makes Grusha's flight...

...bitter one. Robbed of three productive years in his fighting prime for embracing unpopular political beliefs, Ali, since re-emerging into the harsh glare of center ring, is no longer the lightning quick and powerful fighter who was banished for prophetically asserting that as an American, he "had no quarrel with them Viet Cong."
