Daniel Berrigan wrote the play almost entirely from the court transcripts of the trial, and (with a re-write job by Saul Levitt) Michael Butler's new production is very simply a competent condensation of the events of the trial of those nine Catholic radicals who raided the draft board of small-town Catonsville, Maryland and used home-made napalm to destroy 378 folders from the 1-A file...

The show includes a Van Gogh, two Modiglianis and a Saul Steinberg (of Sonnenberg). A rich potpourri of New York, N.Y., turned out for the opening-literary, artistic, social-a p.r. man's dream.
