A great deal of Henry's strug-

himself throbS with theatrical
excite ment. Unfortunately
great stretches OF Mr.. For
syth's play do not throb, but
buzz hypnotically with colloquy
that passes a lot of time with
out moving the drama inexora-

Clayton Corbin's playing of
the Henry Christophe role is
forceful, emotionally super
charged and generally fully
dimensioned. If everyone else
on stage could act up at his
level, Defiant Island" would
have a more vigorous look over
all. But there is a noticeable
gap between Mr.. Corbin's play
