Contemporary Theatre of Dallas is proud to present Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana; the last of the distinguished American playwright's major artistic, critical, and box office successes. The play focuses on sexual relationships and odd characters, and many argue that Williams reveals more of himself in this play than in any of his previous works. Mr. Williams veers off in many philosophic directions in this searing pastoral, but the play's most poignant moments—scenes of enormous compassion—grow out of the understanding of two people, their mutual need for companionship, and their final moments of nobility in small gestures of unselfish aid to one another. The Night of the Iguana won Williams his fourth New York Drama Critics Award and was made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Richard Burton and Ava Gardner.
