Overview
In this 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 baby.”
