...convince the audience that it's the real thing. But the only reality is the actor on the stage and you're watching. Our company is beautiful, eccentric, talented, and the fun is using and stretching the limitations." A recent production of Tennessee Williams' Camino Real, for example, was done in drag, with all female parts, save for one, played by men. Why? "All the women were involved in another production...

And Louis Malle--the man who might have done for the topic of child prostitution what he did with the incest taboo in "Murmur of the Heart."
