With no concrete "action" in the play it was crucial for director Dan Freudenberger and his actors to emphasize character and establish distinct, consistent styles for each role. They did so brilliantly. Each actor had a characteristic walk, and vocal tone. Even the set of their mouths was distinctive. I. Mackenzie Lamb as Davies rasped out his lines with twitching lips and lolling tongue. Aston, played by Tom Jones, moved his lips, slowly, evenly, methodically, biting and clenching them only in his hypnotic description of an electric shock treatment.

...this writing it is doubtful whether Heath can win his campaign plan. Although it has not been vocal about its position, the Labour party is today much closer to accepting the idea of the Common Market, which the Tories favor, than it was two years ago.

...personal vision, no character, no insight-just a leaf-through of the dog-eared topics of the day. The evening's menu of fashionable clichés includes: Generations-in conflict. The Young-Jacobins in blue jeans looking for any old Bastille to storm. The Negro-visible and vocal, and there must be two or the producer will be accused of "token" integration. Middle-aged Mothers-so square they are cubes. The Homosexual-not really a bad chap...
