For his follow-up to The Laramie Project, Moisés Kaufman has turned to an unproduced screenplay of Tennessee Williams', which is based on a short story Williams published in 1948. The piece is receiving its world premiere in a co-production of Kaufman's Tectonic Theatre Project, Chicago's About Face Theatre and Steppenwolf Theatre Company. The story concerns a young man in the late 1930s who had been light heavyweight champion boxer of the Pacific Fleet while in the Navy, but lost an arm in an auto accident and is reduced to hustling as a male prostitute. He drifts across the country and eventually is arrested for the murder of a man who hired him to perform in a blue movie and then makes advances on him after the shoot. He is convicted of the murder and sentenced to death. While in solitary confinement on death row he receives thousands of letters from his "johns," which gradually reawaken his emotions and restore in him a feeling of connectedness to other humans. Shortly before his execution, he comes to understand how his "services" had meaning for his customers, even though they were simply business and a means of survival for him.
