Kelly's production is decidedly cinematic. Characters wander in and out of scenes in which they have no lines, or make entrances onto the stage early, while the previous scene is ending.

The task is hardly hopeless: TIME correspondent Tammerlane Drummond reports that recent international aid to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's new government already tops $1 billion -- more, per capita, than any other country in the world has received.
