Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes
(Henry Van Dyke's Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes are Mrs ...)
Henry Van Dyke's Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes are Mrs Klein, an ageing Jewish widow, and her old coloured retainer, Aunt Harry. Thirty years of teasing, bickering and making-up have put them on equal, almost loving terms. When the ladies aren't 'speaking', Aunt Harry's teenage nephew, Oliver, acts as go-between; narrating their ups and downs through a lush drowsy summer, while seeking his own escape from this cut-off eccentric household. Ironically, Oliver tries to halt the very event which ends by giving him his chance: the summoning-up by the ladies of a bogus warlock, Maurice LeFleur, to resurrect the spirit of Mrs Klein's dead son. 'Apparently they believed in magic a little bit; it was either that, or their desperation was so great they would play any game, with any rules, no matter how unreal, how bizarre . . .'

The Blakes are a prosperous black bourgeois family comfortably ensconced in St. Albans, Queens. Finley is a successful doctor; Olga, his wife, can almost pass for white and is anything but comfortable about her race; and their spoiled daughter, Sophie, has just been accepted at Bennington. Their complacent lives are shattered one September night when they are taken hostage in their own home by two black militants, members of a group called "The Committee." Over the course of twelve harrowing hours both sides will strip themselves to the emotional bone in this psychologically charged 1969 melodrama, which crosses Edward Albee with Amiri Baraka with "The Desperate Hours" to devastating effect.
