Erick Neher on Tennessee Williams' “Camino Real,” at Williamstown Theatre Festival:
1/4
A large supporting cast inhabits a wide variety of eccentrics searching for meaning amid the general madness. This search mirrors the audience’s experience: Camino Real is the very definition of a hot mess.

Unlike the contemporaneous triumphant mergers of poetic language and naturalistic narrative and psychology that made Williams’ name...there is little plot and even less coherent characterization to grab onto in Camino Real. It’s tough to parse...
3/4
Williamstown’s production, directed by Dustin Wills, emphasized the work’s mythic delirium.…Credit to the new Williamstown management for taking bold swings with programming and casting, swings which will inevitably lead to a few misses.
