Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (Broadway Theatre Archive)

Rating:
Summary: A bird without wings!
Review: Considering that this is the ONLY filmed version of "Camino Real" going, I suppose this DVD is better than nothing. That, however, still doesn't keep me from hating it. Apparently owing to television time constraints, much of the play has been excised. Unfortunately, what has been removed are the portions of the play which provide its theme and focus (e.g., the Don Quixote scenes). Thus, the play comes off like some absurdist piece with no point whatsoever!

If you're a fan of the play, you will hate this rendition as much as I do.

Lesson to be learned: a plucked bird cannot fly! (This bird, unfortunately, has not only been plucked, but has had its wings removed and has been microwaved for consumption!)
