...efficiently evokes the backstage of a rundown vaudeville house, with three large panels of circus-patterned scrim backstage. At several points, backlit actors pantomime the offstage action of the play, alleviating the inevitable boredom of this regrettable Elizabethean convention.

President Bok may believe that if American corporations only educate and improve the living and working conditions for enough Blacks in South Africa then change will evolve, but the South African government has flatly denied the possibility of Blacks ever...
