Camino Real by Tennessee Williams

In Tennessee Williams' phantasmagorical play, the Camino Real is a dead end, a police state in a vaguely Latin American country, and an inescapable condition.  Characters from history and literature - Don Quixote, Casanova, Camille, Lord Byron - inhabit a place where corruption and indifference have immobilized and nearly destroyed the human spirit. Then, into this netherworld, the archetypal Kilroy arrives - a sailor and all-American guy with "a heart as big as the head of a baby."
