The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

Tennessee Williams's 1963 flop, a garish curio of codified anxiety, focuses on a poetical gigolo (Darren Pettie) and dying sybarite (Olympia Dukakis, Ionic in a part that needs Corinthian flourish). Michael Wilson yanks some of the gay undertones from latency to patency, but the production is too tasteful to slide into the high camp that might be its natural state.—Adam Feldman
