APRIL 13- MAY 8, 2010 at THE ONTOLOGICAL THEATER

 

The top director in America and our hottest playwright want to develop a new "experimental" play together, the story of the eternally doomed outsider wandering through an extraordinary mythic dreamscape. It opens on Broadway. It bombs. And yet it endures as an extraordinary event in our theater's history...

 

In 1948 Elia Kazan started work on a strange new play by Tennessee Williams, and in 1953 Camino Real opened and quickly closed on Broadway. How did they create this astonishing work? How did Kazan's 1952 testimony before HUAC and its traumantic aftermath affect the creative process? Was Camino indeed a flop, or was it actually-in a deeper more permanent sense-an important success? How does anyone create something truly new? How do they fit into the mainstream and how do they change it?

 

Target Margin Theater's new company created piece The Really Big Once

is the story of these two giants and how they changed American culture.
