It debuted at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, in July 1962. Its first American production was in January 1963 on Broadway at the Morosco Theatre, starring Hermione Baddeley.[1][2] Reviews of the play were poor, but a newspapers strike prevented the tepid reviews from reaching audiences and the play ran for a modest 69 performances. Williams revised the script for a second production, giving it a kabuki framework, with two actors acting as stagehands commenting on the play as it happened. The rehatched production began on January 1964 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre under the direction of Tony Richardson and starring Tallulah Bankhead (the part had originally been written for and was loosely based on Bankhead) and Tab Hunter, with Marian Seldes. It ran for only five performances after again receiving very poor notices. Many critics felt that Bankhead's line readings, addled by age and drug use, were unintelligible. The 2011 revival starring Olympia Dukakis was directed by Michael Wilson.[3] In 1968, the play was adapted by Williams into the film Boom!, co-starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and directed by Joseph Losey. The film was a disastrous vehicle for both stars. SynopsisThe play is set in Italy and centers on a dying, wealthy woman, Mrs. Flora Goforth, who catches a young man, Christopher Flanders, allegedly trespassing on her estate. Dialogue between the two makes up much of the play. At the end Mrs. Goforth dies after her long struggle with terminal illness.[4] References1. ^{{IBDB title|2978|The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore}} {{Tennessee Williams|state=collapsed}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore}}{{1960s-play-stub}}2. ^About Tennessee Williams and The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore 3. ^Isherwood, Charles.
