"Make Voyages! - Attempt them! - there's nothing else" 

On the Camino Real - an unspecified mysterious port, birds are captured, tamed and kept in cages. Desperate to take flight, the inhabitants are an array of lost souls that have no choice but to indulge in false fortunes and fiestas. Retired boxer, Kilroy, kindles the spirits of the people, while venturing on his own fight to resist the constraints of the town's walls and maintain his dignity.

Directed by Lori Leigh, Victoria University's Theatre 303 takes one of Williams' most innovative play through a carnival of temptation, desperation and dream-like exaggeration.
