...announcing they're going to perform a play for us; supertitles introduce us to "Act I," "Act 2" and even the "Intermission." The set is spare and semi-abstract: a screen door, segments of wire fence, a window floating in the night sky. Secondary characters linger offstage in full view of the audience, or gather to listen at key moments, forming an accusatory Greek chorus. Video projections and ominous, movielike underscoring help solidify the enveloping tension and sense of doom...

The added factor this year is the enthusiasm among Obama voters, especially African Americans eager to elect the first black President (if not avenge what they call the Florida disenfranchisement they suffered in 2000). An unusually vast Obama ground operation in Florida has galvanized early voting, bringing movie stars like Matt Damon into Tampa for early-voter rallies and holding drum-line marches in Miami's predominantly black communities.
