...Genet's commitment to revolutionary ideology was weak, his rage at those in power--anywhere--was so intense that it occasionally shocked even those for whom he purported to speak. The first cast to perform the anti-colonial The Blacks in Paris was mostly made up of African immigrants. These cosmopolitan hyphenated Frenchmen, according to White, had some trouble working up the demonic rage he gave his characters. In handling incidents like these, thick with politics and personalities, White manages to deal with both and distort neither. He never loses track of Genet's peculiar psychology or the very real...

The singing voice is familiar too. That pure tenor -- its piercing power and excellent elocution suggesting a glee-club star who's just been kneed by the school football coach -- could belong only to Marvin Lee Aday, known to the world as Meat Loaf. First as Eddie the zombie biker in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), then as star of writer-arranger Jim Steinman's ambitious album...
