Description
Whiskey Ring buffs should have a grand time with Romulus Linney's 1975 study of Ulysses Grant's presidency and the corruption that beset it. For the rest of us, the charms of Democracy may prove more elusive, particularly in this rather pallid production. The opening scenes, a series of static tableaux punctuated by strained witticisms, move far too ponderously, and with a few exceptions, the performances fail to convey a place and time other than contemporary Chicago.—JB
