For more than three minutes, the young men heaved like draft horses before finally relaxing their grip on the rope. Resnick's body slumped face-down on the sand. Jackie Spurlock, 29, quickly removed two rings from the dead man's fingers, methodically went through his pockets.

By 1959, it was a one-act play, produced at a theater festival in Spoleto, Italy. Four separate versions followed, and to compare them is to watch sand turning into Baccarat crystal. Says Williams: "It takes five or six years to use something out of life. It's lurking in the unconscious- it finds its meaning there." Essentially, Williams has been chosen by his subjects...
