  "But no brief description - or any description, really - can do justice to the extraordinary manner in which Liptsin stages and performs this classic tale...  It touches on the deepest origins of drama, mime, vaudeville and commedia dell'arte in popular entertainment, and of that thing Francis Fergusso called "the Historic Impulse", when (as Roland Barthes fleshed it out), one person changes his appearance and turns to face his community as if beyond the pale, telling or showing them the stories of their origins and of quality of their souls."
Ken Bullock, Berkeley Daily Planet
