A very clean copy of this third printing of this version of this famous play by Tennessee Williams, with parts of the original dust jacket affixed to end pages of the interior. It is very suitable for gifting to your favorite theater/Tennessee Williams fan, or collecting to add to your own bookshelf. From the rear paste down page attached flap notes: “ In the sun-baked plaza of a vaguely latinate no-man’s town, walled off from the world, a tired Casanova, a disillusioned Byron, an aging Camille, a voluptuous gypsy’s daughter, fascist police, starving peons, prostitutes, panders and perverts move in a phantasmagoria of legend, cruel revelry, terror and violence. The version of CAMINO REAL here published is considerably revised over that presented on Broadway. There are new characters and some new scenes, and principally a new framework for the whole play provided by an ingenious prologue. As William Hawkins writes in THEATRE ARTS: “ It is no small signal of Williams’ intelligence that he can go on refining this play.”
