...cast is exemplary. In the key role of Alexander, Dick Anthony Williams strikes a plangent note of pain. The rest of the cast is incomparably finer than this derelict play deserves. Producer Joseph Papp, at whose Vivian Beaumont Theater Black Picture Show is being presented, demonstrates again his illusory belief in the power of drama to effect social change, and his un flinching generosity to a fledgling play wright by giving him a chance to begin, learn and try again...

The 22nd Seigneur of Sark showed every sign of preserving his grandmother's feudal Utopia. "We want to keep the island quiet and peaceful," he asserted.
