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. |
