THE AUTHOR ON THE PLAY
- (the play e x i s t s ) outside of time i n a place of no s p e c i f i c
locality
- t o me the appeal of t h i s work i s i t s unusual degree of
freedom
- More than any other work I have done, t h i s play seemed t o
me l i k e the construction of another world, a separate
existence.
- There have been p l e n t y o f i n d i c a t i o n s t h a t t h i s play w i l l
exasperate and confuse a c e r t a i n number of people....
At each performance a number of people have stamped out
of the auditorium.... I am at a loss t o explain t h i s
phenomenon.... I had never f o r one minute supposed that
the play would seem obscure and confusing t o anyone who
was w i l l i n g to meet i t even less than h a l f way.
- a cage represents s e c u r i t y as w e l l as confinement to a
b i r d t h a t has grown used to being i n i t
- I wrote the f i r s t d r a f t of Camino i n New Orleans i n 1946;
t h a t was the manuscript Audrey Wood t o l d me to put away
and not show t o anybody. Her r e a c t i o n had depressed me
so that I thought the play must be r e a l l y q u i t e awful.
Then a few years l a t e r , I was i n New York and dropped by
the Actor's Studio. Kazan was conducting an exercise...
they were performing Ten Blocks on the Camino Real. I
r e a l i z e d t h a t Audrey had been altogether mistaken, t h a t
i t played remarkably^well, and I said, "Oh Kazan, we
must do t h i s . "
- [ t h e reviews] were savage about t h i s play, which freed
so much of contemporary American theatre from r e a l i s t i c
conventions
- Camino was the f i r s t time on Broadway o f which I know when
actors ran down the a i s l e s and went out i n t o the audience
- the audience wasn't w i t h i t at the time.
they love the play now

Now they are,

The time f o r r e t r e a t never comes...QUIXOTE
When so many are lonely as seem t o be lonely, i t would be
inexcusably s e l f i s h t o be lonely alone...QUIXOTE
Do you f e e l y o u r s e l f t o be s p i r i t u a l l y unprepared f o r the
age o f exploding atoms? Do you d i s t r u s t the newspapers?
Are you suspicious o f governments? Have you a r r i v e d a t a
p o i n t on the Camino Real where the walls converge not i n
the distance but r i g h t i n f r o n t o f your nose?.GYPSY
We're used t o each other. Yes we've grown used t o each
other, and t h a t ' s what passed f o r love on t h i s f a r ,
moonlit end o f the Camino Real...CAMILLE
The exchange o f serious questions and ideas, e s p e c i a l l y
between persons from opposite sides o f the plaza, i s
regarded unfavorably here...CASSANOVA
