Description:
Martin Sheen stars in this Tennessee Williams one-act. What is the Camino Real? According to one character, it is "a funny paper read backwards," while another says everyone must figure it out for himself. Yes, we are in the world of allegory, in a melancholy dreamlike play set in an undefined Latin American country. Sheen plays an amiable Everysoldier, Kilroy. The play unfolds in 10 blocks, each a little vignette, that Kilroy winds his way through. The Camino Real is empty, sad, and menacing--so much so that the dead are simply scooped up by laughing street cleaners. As for the rest, well, figure it out for yourself. This is a fine production, but viewers will need to have a high tolerance for the kind of play where characters actually address each other as "You, Player of the Blue Guitar." Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is recommended for just that segment of Tennessee Williams fans. --Ali Davis
