‘Baldwin’s Amen Corner’

Review of production at Holland Festival in the Hague. Very critical of JB’s text:

‘Baldwin was himself a preacher until he was 16, and perhaps as a result, his characters express themselves tidily and consecutively but impersonally…The play was written thirteen years ago, and the woodenness of its characterisation suggested to me the conventional treatment of ‘Love on the Dole’.
