THE STORY: An East Indian gets lost on his first day in New York as two teenage punks find him waiting at a lonely bus stop. He cannot understand English, and the boys have some fun with him-at least it starts out as fun. But little by little, as the minutes go by and the bus doesn't come, they get bored; then annoyed; then vicious.

Anyshoun
This plaintive phone message from a Indian father to his son in another part of New York reflects the problems of communication illustrated in this 1968 play. The Indian is stuck at a New York bus stop at night, trying to reach his son's house in the Bronx, which is on a different line. He does not know where he is and has no idea how to get where he wants to go. The Indian doesn't speak English (though his lines are in English in the playbook so that actors can respond to them appropriately). Two toughs (one played in the original production by Al Pacino, who won an Obie for his role) saunter up to him and hassle him, mocking his inability to speak English, his turban, his constant politeness no matter how rude they are, and his predicament of being lost in "their" territory.

In the course of the play, Murph and Joey reveal all their ignorance and prejudices, their hostility, and their feelings of being left out of the mainstream, for which they want to take action. They are mean and aware that in the situation at the bus stop they have all the power. When the hassling becomes more serious, Joey earns his neighborhood stripes, attacking the Indian, who simply wants to get home to his son.

Presented with little scenery, except for a bus stop sign, a telephone booth, and some trash cans, this is a bare-bones play for three characters, depending largely on the actors to convey a sense of menace, rather than on the dialogue. Capturing the political and social unrest in the cities in the 1960s, it simply portrays issues, rather than investigating them or offering any commentary on them, and much of the dialogue and the attitudes are now dated. The Indian is a character for whom the reader/viewer evolves sympathy, but since he speaks no English during the play, the audience must understand him through his body language and sense of ingenuousness. A play which reflects the period in which it was written, it offers less of enduring value for the present day. Mary Whipple
