Interview with Shelley Winters

Its a long time since I read it (7yrs ago)and I watched the movie shortly afterward and basically the film is about half of the play....its all based on exestential beliefs... but the sense I got from the play is that people can adopt power and influece mearly by appearence...ie puting on a costume...but that the whole world is mearly a pretence as in the play the civil war ends up not being real either and all the characters even the ones that die come back and hang up their costumes and leave the brothel....Life is one big game where sex and power are key and all is not that real....this is going on memory I'd really need to read the play again and watch the film... I also HATED the film except Shelly Winters... its nothing like the play which is a masterpiece!!!!
