Ah-one ah-Two ah-body in the country jail… That’s how we always heard it, way back when, and scratched our heads, confused—what’s “nix, nix”? and what kind of name is Shifty Henry, anyway? And “getting kicks”?
Seven young people in black pants and white T-shirts and slicked hair doing nifty things on a stage, with wooden chairs and a gymnastics crossbar and a horse, to the sound of “Jailhouse Rock.” A black student with a white-painted face stands holding a whip over a white student with blacke
...ned face, who’s bent over a chair, clutching the seat, and is evidently a girl. She undulates and gyrates her taut shapely body, mouthing silent cries of pain or ecstasy every time the tip of the riding crop reaches out and caresses her bottom. To the far right a character in gym shorts and undershirt continuously pummels a punching bag; another character in jeans and jacket, boots and cowboy hat, broodingly stalks the stage for something, oblivious of the others, as if belonging to yet another, superimposed tableau.MoreLess
