A View from the Cliff: Tennessee Williams’ “Camino Real”
BY CLIFF KASDEN
Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Tennessee Williams’ tormented life gave birth to some of our nation’s greatest dramas. One of his less celebrated projects, the surreal “Camino Real,” is currently onstage at the Walt Whitman Theatre at Brooklyn College.
Director Laura Tesman has very successfully combined a large and talented cast with haunting set design (Angelica Borrero) and irresistibly eerie costumes (Paihsin Shih). The result is a theatrical buffet in which every visual and verbal morsel brings a distinct opportunity for interpretation.
