...every time I try to move a muscle. Even the clock seems sleepy after I throw it on the pile of dirty clothes in the corner. On the desk, which is bare and cleared for action, lies a little paper book which purports to discuss Science, Socialism and a Static Society. I knew it was worthless last night, but I felt so exploited I just had to get something out of the building. Now, too late, I see the sticker on the cover, Desk 3, and I know the cost of living has just gone up fifty cents an hour...
...moves slowly with a growing sense of impending tragedy toward the crescendo of Caesar's murder. From there, the film hurtles through the intense drama of the funeral oration, the quarrel in Brutus' camp, and the suicides of the "honorable men."

...played by the Poet's group, Purgatory is static and lacks the contrasts it should have. It seems two-dimensional beside the rich, flowing whimsy of The Player Queen. Given the role of Septimns, a drunken poet, Russell more than acquits himself in the evening's second play. His eulogy of the chaste unicorn is particularly charming. The most skillful performance of the evening is Bronias Sielewicz' Decima, the actress who becomes queen when the real queen flees an attacking mob. Graceful in her movements, she is alternately coy and contemptuous as the part demands...
