...broad cineramic "happening" stage for Brook's deep proscenium, paralyzing the underlings and thrusting the chorus in our laps. This is fine, for he makes good use of vertical poses (pyramids, piggy-backs, tableaux) at the expense of marching scenes and horas. But there are other problems. Kimball and Kimbrough, while excellent, are all too evidently acting toward their roles from their personalities (which shouldn't exist); the result is a lag in the first act that is enhanced by the lengthy argument between Sade and Marat.

Herself the author of sonnets and a sprightly autobiography, Southern Belle, she described "Uppie" as "a dual personality-a helpless child in his personal affairs and a brave and skillful fighter in the cause he loved...
Esprit de Cortège. In Memphis, anxious to save time, Motorist Tom Kimbrough switched on his lights, joined a funeral procession, rolled steadily through red lights, eventually tried to turn into a side street, heard the voice of the law behind him ("Hey, buddy. Back in line. You joined the procession. Now stay in it"), ended up in the cemetery, where the cop made him stay for the services...
