Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams will be the focus of the Target Margin Theater's 2010 theatrical season.

Originally announced as part of the 2009 lineup, The Really Big Once, which explores Williams' collaborations with director Elia Kazan, will run April-May 2010 at the Ontological Theatre.

Target Margin artistic director David Herskovits created the work that will focus on the short-lived Broadway drama Camino Real. The Target Margin website asks, "How did they create this astonishing work? How did Kazan's 1952 testimony before HUAC and its traumatic aftermath affect the creative process? Was Camino indeed a flop, or was it actually in a deeper more permanent sense-an important success? How does anyone create something truly new? How do they fit into the mainstream and how do they change it?"

Last season Target Margin staged Williams' precursor to the play, Ten Blocks on the Camino Real.

In March of 2010, the Target Margin Lab will present a series of lesser known works and short pieces in The Unknown Williams. The three-week Lab will be held at the Bushwick Starr.
