Both City Hall and satisfied residents will ignore the problems of these groups, though. The whites of West Roxbury and the liberals of the Back Bay will tire of the racial confusion and turn to chiding the poor for disrupting their comfortable city.

Haigh's load this summer is enough to tire anyone: when he is not doing Prospero, he is playing either Brutus (an even longer role) or Malvolio.
