WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A dreamlike meditation on alienation, beauty and death.
Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is Tennessee Williams' elegant compact first version of what became his much-celebrated play. In 1948 Elia Kazan first workshopped these scenes at the Actors Studio, and that work grew into the legendary Camino Real.
Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. on behalf of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.
