DIVA TALK: Betty Gets Real And The Patti Weekend
BETTY BUCKLEY
Add Camille (Marguerite Gautier) to the list of vulnerable but determined women that Betty Buckley has brought to life throughout her award-winning career. In fact, Buckley not only brings her character to life, but it is during the Tony winner's moments on stage when the Hartford Stage Company's current production of Camino Real works best. One of the least accessible of Tennessee Williams plays, Camino Real is a dark adventure set somewhere between earth and hell while intermingling characters both real and fictional: the romantic poet Lord Byron; the infamous Italian lover Casanova; Cervantes' knight-errant Don Quixote de la Mancha; the aforementioned Camille, the consumptive courtesan from Alexandre Dumas' La Dame aux Camelias; and several others.
