TENNESSEE WILLIAMS’S CAMINO REAL Will Receive Industry Reading Directed by Austin Pendleton
The cast will include Willa Bost, Carmen Berkeley, Kayla Boye, Laurie Dawn, Lea DeLaria, and more.
La Femme Theatre Productions has announced an invite-only industry presentation of Tennessee Williams’s Camino Real, directed by Austin Pendleton, on Monday, December 16, 2024. For more information, please contact RSVP@LDKProductions.com.
In Camino Real, Tennessee Williams weaves a kaleidoscopic fever dream that confronts the mystery of human existence and its inevitable mortality. This tragicomedy throws the unforgettable characters of Kilroy, Esmeralda, Casanova, and Camille into a cauldron of despair under a brutally oppressive regime. As they teeter on the brink of survival, they discover the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love.
"Camino Real resonates deeply in our current moment as it captures both the fragility and the power of the human spirit amid the chaos and oppression of a society struggling to survive the perils of a totalitarian state. Tennessee Williams’s poetic exploration of love, resilience, and survival feels more urgent than ever in a world grappling with division, uncertainty, and violent repression. We are presenting this industry reading now to remind us all of the power of human connection and the enduring strength of hope, even in the face of despair." - Jean Lichty, Executive Director of La Femme Theatre Productions
