The Mutilated
By Robin Friedman
"The Mutilated" is an almost forgotten late play by Tennessee Williams that has found recent, unexpected success. First produced in Broadway in 1966 as part of a double-bill called "Slapstick Tragedy" the play closed after only seven performances. The play then seems to have been unproduced for 47 years until, in the Fall of 2013, it was revived off-Broadway in a production directed by Cosmin Chevu with highly imaginative casting. Two underground actresses played the leading roles: the unlikely- named Penny Arcade and Mink Stole. Penny Arcade is a performing artist and writer who began to work with Andy Warhol when she was released from reform school. She has worked in New York theater for over 40 years and has become well-known for her opposition to "gentrification" in New York City. Based in Baltimore, Mink Stole has gained fame through her roles in all the films of John Walters and has also made a career as a singer and writer. "The Mutilated" provided one of the few traditional theater roles for both Mink Stole and Penny Arcade.. By all accounts, their performances shined. With their gaudy, larger-than-life characters, they were perfect fits for Williams' strange play. The New York Times, which had panned the play in 1966 as a "boozy delusion", gave a highly favorable review to the 2013 revival. In 2014, the Drama League nominated "The Mutilated" for the award of best revival of a Broadway or off-Broadway play, the only off-Broadway production to be so honored.
"The Mutilated" is a short, dark, extreme comedy set on Christmas Eve in the 1930s in seedy sections of New Orleans. The play tells the story of the off-again, on-again friendship of two lonely, vulnerable women. Celeste, 50 is a bosomy, aggressive prostitute and shoplifter, whose spirit Williams describes as "unconquerable". She has been released from prison on Christmas Eve and she tries to ingratiate herself with her former friend, Trinket. Both Trinket and Celeste have lived in a seedy rooming house, but Trinket resides there by choice, as she has both education and a large income from her father's oil wells. Trinket has had a breast removed and feels inadequate and alone, with no male companions and only Celeste as a friend. In their better days, Trinket has treated Celeste to meals and movies in exchange for company. But the two had a falling-out when Celeste has tried to blackmail Trinket by exposing her secret "mutilation". When Celeste tries to renew the friendship on Christmas Eve, Trinket rebuffs her strongly. The two separately wander the streets and bars of New Orleans and both ultimately find themselves trying to pick-up the same pair of drunken sailors. On Christmas day, the two women reconcile and share an ersatz religious experience.
In his New York Times review of November 13, 2013, Charles Isherwood described Celeste and Trinket and the in-character performances of Penny Arcade and Mink Stole.
"Dressed in a flashy floral dress that suggests a sausage casing in a pattern by Arcimboldo, with her marcelled red hair beginning to come un-marcelled, Celeste sneaks around after Trinket like a mangy cat on the trail of a mouse. Although she maliciously threatens to broadcast her secret to the world and throws a cranky tantrum when all her efforts seem to be going nowhere, Celeste nevertheless possesses a big-hearted humanity that makes her impossible to dislike. Her appetites are what keep her going (“As long as you have longings, satisfaction is possible,” she philosophizes), and Penny Arcade’s big, bold performance radiates a lusty hunger that perfectly captures the character’s essence.
Mink Stole is equally fine as the more genteel Trinket. Keeping her arm curled upward reflexively, to camouflage what she sees as the glaring fact of her “mutilation,” Trinket treads gingerly through the seamy French Quarter streets, trailing an air of apology. Her frightened eyes search like floodlights for an answering compassion, but when, in desperation for company, she picks up a sailor, Trinket’s fluttery attempts at drawing him out bring only humiliation. The actress invests this embattled, fragile woman with a moving dignity."
Tennessee Williams' late plays generally were spurned, but they seem to be undergoing a revival. Even John Lahr's new biography of Williams "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh" (2014) has little to say about "The Mutilated" in spite of its new-found success. The play, however, is included in the second volume of the Library of America's compilation of Williams' plays and is thus easily accessible. I was glad to read the play and to learn of its recent revival in New York with Mink Stole and Penny Arcade.
