| I’ve never heard that and I think Mr. Hawke is probably mistaken. The play had its gestation in 1945 or 1946, right after the end of WWIi. Even it’s conversion into a full length play in 1949 was probably too early for Newman, but I could be wrong. I love the play perhaps more to read than to watch. I saw a production that Juliard did and though the actors were great it never really took off. It’s Williams in full post-war surrealist mode. |

| Funny that this came up...I was in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of CAMINO REAL in 1999 in which Ethan Hawke played Kilroy. It had a really starry cast, by the way...in addition to Ethan Hawke, there was Blair Brown, Kristine Nielsen, Jeffrey Jones, Mary Lou Rosato, Hope Davis, Lewis Black, and Richard Easton. And future stars Kathryn Hahn, Christian Carmargo, and Charlie Day, as well as Broadway regular David Turner were also in the cast. I don't have any insight into Williams writing the play for Newman, but Newman did come to see the production and I got to meet him afterward. He was very complimentary about the show. It's true what they said about his blue eyes. It was difficult to look away from them. |

| The production sounds like a lot of fun to have been in. | |

| It really was a lot of fun, as well as being a great production. Apparently, Lincoln Center Theater was considering transferring it to New York, but did not due to the size of the cast. It was a whole education in itself to be in a rehearsal room with Blair Brown and able to watch her work. |

| Well that was fantastic, thanks. A real freak-out of a take on the play. It made me look up the career of the director Jack Landau whose career was cut short by a violent murder... two years after the making of this film. | |
