"A superb short play. The dialogue was crisp and witty. A most thoughtful and ingenious variation on the racial problem. Actors rehearsing a TV play about Rhodesia, wearing masks part of the time, kept popping in and out of their robes, conferring with one another and the director ...this piece deserves repeating." (The Observer)
