First staged as a one-act play in 1959, Williams developed 'The Night of the Iguana' into the a full-length play over the course of two years, staging two different versions in 1959 and 1960, and then arriving at the three-act version of the text which premiered on Broadway in 1961. A dramatic statement on the meaning of human fragility and hidden strength, 'The Night of the Iguana' rewards readers and watchers alike with striking themes and poetic imagery, all within the confines of a run-down tourist hotel.
