| Description |
Set in one of the cells of a Canadian reformatory, one step from the penitentiary, John Herbert's play deals with the relationships between the four men who inhabit it. There is Queenie, the light-fingered fruit, Rocky, a fast-talking con man who tries to live up to his illusions of himself as a force to be reckoned with, Mona, the pathetic victim of sadism and prejudice, and Smithy,whose development from innocence to bitter experience is central to the development of the play. Their cell guard, nicknamed 'Holy Face' is at once the hostile and all-powerful symbol of a repressive authority, and the pathetic human victim of his captives' cunning. |
