...staging of this production is intended, one gathers, to create much of the mood that should be implicit in the action. Unfortunately--even if it were perfectly executed--it could hardly make up for the deficiencies in the director's conception of the whole. Jordan Jelk's sets are successful in a somber way, but the lighting could have been better used at times, and the music often seemed superfluous. The shabbiness of the costuming seemed to serve no purpose...
Holding the play together from beginning to end was Royall Tyler's performance as Hugo--the young intellectual revolutionary. Tyler, more than any of the members of the cast, brought his part to life. The confusion, frustration, and near hysteria of Hugo until his final understanding are implicit in his gesture and intonation throughout, and it is fair to say that he largely carries the production...

Said Hugo di Pietro, Peronista labor boss: "This is a time for reconciliation. There will be no church issue." Though most priests still wore cautious mufti in the streets (Argentines vied in trying to spot them by their black socks and clumsily knotted neckties), some ventured boldly out in cassocks. Most of the arrested priests were hastily freed. The government sent policemen to guard churches...
