Description: ''Hymn to the Rising Sun,'' a grim prison drama from the 1930's, takes place in the barracks of a rural Southern work camp in the early morning on the Fourth of July, and the idea of the cruelly incarcerated waking to Independence Day is the irony that thrums loudly throughout the play. --NY Times, Feb. 5, 2001.
