A.R.T.'s 'Night Of The Iguana' Has A Strong Cast 'On Paper'

"The Night of the Iguana" is on stage at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge. In this rarely-produced 1961 play by Tennessee Williams, a disgraced minister working as a low-budget tour guide winds up at a cheap hotel on the Mexican coast. Clever banter and deep philosophical discussions ensue.

A lot of buzz about the A.R.T. production involves the star-studded cast, including Amanda Plummer, Dana Delany, Elizabeth Ashley and James Earl Jones.
