What drove Bishop Crowther into open battle was the lot of 1,000 Bantus from a native community called Holpan near Kimberley. Last month they were thrown out of their shanties and moved by government trucks to a barren waste in the Mamuthla Reserve, 25 miles to the north. Their offense was refusal to move into new government housing, where the rent of $5.60 a month was a third, the Bantus claimed, of what they could hope to earn. Visiting the compound, Bishop Crowther found most of the natives without food; some had not eaten in four days...

Thus, giving free rein to his imagination in Moses and Aaron, he called for herds of live camels and asses, horses and sheep to be slaughtered on stage, and "bloody lumps of meat" to be thrown to a chorus of 600 voices.

When he first arrives at the school, each boy can select two from drugstore-type racks, keep them or exchange them with other boys -and no one tries to keep track of them. Fader also advises constant practice in writing. Boys are encouraged to keep...
Criss has destroyed the second act by inexplicably cutting out the drama's most touching moment, Bill Walker's gruffly affectionate good-bye to Barbara and Barbara's subsequent plea to Peter Shirley, an old worker, for moral support. Because these moments have been thrown away, two characters are left half-created and Shaw's irony is lost...
