...ploy works, but this production ofPatienceis less successful. Not devoid by any means of energy and talent, Patience is still spotty by Gilbert & Sullivan Society standards, suffering from uneven acting and the familiarity of director P.D. Seltzer's gimmickry...
...prose is another matter. Each author has hewed strictly to the period assigned him, and no overall style has been imposed. The result is disappointingly uneven. In part two (1760-1820), Gordon S.

Pointing to a group of uncoordinated, spastic white people in the corner of the stage, Jim Brown moans: "They can't do nothin', there. They can't boogie, they...
