WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This is the world premiere of The Really Big Once, a new play, created by the company, that tells the story of two theatrical giants, Elia Kazan and Tennessee Williams, and how they changed American culture. The Really Big Once explores the Kazan/Williams collaboration (between 1948 and 1953) on one of their most celebrated plays, Camino Real, and is based on meticulous research of (and access to) their notebooks, letters and recollections, with the permission and support of the Kazan and Williams estates. The Really Big Once is being produced in association with the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator.
