...this suspense. The settings are excellently done and create the illusion of a thick tropical forest with the moonlight filtering in. Brutus Jones is played by Theodore Brown, young Negro actor-playwright, with a great deal of feeling and deft interpretation of the character. The other outstanding performer was Toni Tucci who does a dance as a witch doctor that is truly worthy of Katherine Dunham.
