...first visit to the States, I was taken there and, like Little Audrey, I laughed and laughed. I have seen the wonders of the Far East and marveled at the Pyramids.

That apartheid distorts their lives is evident when they panic at Ethel's proposed visit, but the symbolic ballet of their hatred for each other's color seems a detached, out-of-joint afterthought to the play...
