Cast for "The Slave" includes Nan Martin, Jerome Raphel, and Al Freeman, Jr. "LEROI JONES is one of the angriest writers to storm the theater?and one of the most gifted. On the evidence of his new one-acters, ?The Slave? and ?The Toilet,? one wonders whether his rage is not at war with his instincts as an artist. In both halves of the double bill, which opened last night at the St. Marks Playhouse, Mr. Jones has exciting and moving things to say. Once again, as in ?Dutchman,? he discloses a sure grasp of the theatrical image. But he cannot resist the urge to shock by invoking violence and all the obscenities he can think of. There are times when these shock tactics perform no useful dramatic function, when they clarify no meaning, when they merely set up needless resistance to what the play is saying. When Mr. Jones sets out to be literal, he is about as unsubtle as the law will allow. ?The Toilet? occurs in a toilet of a boys' high school. Larry Rivers has obliged the author by designing a retreat with all the equipment you would find in a men's room. Leo Garen has staged the opening moments of the play to indicate realistic use of the equipment. Mr. Jones and his colleagues apparently assume that nothing can be left to an audience's imagination." -- Howard Taubman, "Theater: An Angry Man ?Slave? and ?Toilet? by LeRoi Jones Open," New York Times, December 17, 1964.
