...music, the rebellion is put down by Macbett (Scott Carneal) and Banco (Gintaras Valiulis). Carneal is almost plausible--his is physically suited for the role and commands a reasonable stage presence--but like most of the cast, he lacks depth. Valiulis' performance is as flat as a day-old Coke, and he is constantly and annoyingly brushing the hair out of his eyes. The best of the male cast is Vanderryn as Duncan, the cowardly archduke whose motto seems to be "safety first."

...best new play of the crop is Rum and Coke, a wry, poignant look back at the can-do optimism and patriotic naivete that led the U.S. to stumble into the Bay of Pigs invasion. Playwright Keith Reddin, 29, was a child of four when CIA-backed Cuban insurgents made their disastrous landing in 1961, but he captures with compassion and accuracy the Kennedy Administration's fundamental miscalculation: the belief in a nonexistent Cuban underground that was only waiting for a signal of support to rise up and overthrow Fidel Castro. Reddin presents the Bay of Pigs fiasco...
