Looking to restore the original grandeur and update the home for contemporary living, the couple hired Mim Design, a Melbourne firm, to devise a plan. “It was all about stripping back the additional forms that had been added over the years and taking the home back to its roots with this lovely rectangular shape,” said Charlotte McGill, the director of interiors. “Then, at the rear, we designed a new pavilion with a similar shape to house the kitchen and living and dining areas, and give them views to the garden.”

Production history[edit]
Inspiration[edit]
In 1946 Williams wrote an account of the origins of the play, in which he describes how he was visiting Mexico in 1945 and in a romantic, dreamy mood, when:
I catch a glimpse of a childishly drawn inscription, one that I have seen in a thousand different public places in the States but never before in Mexico. KILROY WAS HERE, it announces...
He comes into the Sonata like hot licks on a trumpet,
he and the world that he lives in, a world of pawn-shops on Rampart Street,
jitney dance-halls, dollar-a-night hotel rooms, bars on Skid Row, all the vivid, one-dimensional clowneries and heroisms of the nickel comic and adventure strips, celebrated in the raw colors of childhood’s spectrum. This is Kilroy, the most famous citizen of America, about whom nothing is known except that he goes everywhere that it doesn’t cost much to go, the poor man’s Don Quixote or Paul Bunyan.[2]
《皇家卡米諾》是田納西威廉斯於 1953 年創作的戲劇。在該劇企鵝版的簡介中，威廉斯指導讀者使用英語發音“Cá-mino Réal”。該劇的標題取自其背景，暗指皇家卡米諾 (El Camino Real)，這是一個西班牙語小鎮的死胡同，周圍環繞著沙漠，通往外界的交通零星。威廉斯將其描述為「正是我對我所生活的時代和世界的看法。」[1] 基爾羅伊是一位年輕的美國遊客，他履行了劇中敘述者的一些職能，古特曼也是如此。馬雷斯的露台佔據了舞台的一部分。威廉斯也僱用了大量角色，包括許多出現在夢境序列中的著名文學人物。他們包括堂吉訶德和他的搭檔桑丘、瑪格麗特“卡米爾”戈蒂埃（參見《茶花女》）、卡薩諾瓦、拜倫勳爵和埃斯梅拉達（參見《巴黎聖母院》）等。 該劇發生在主廣場，經歷了一系列令人困惑且幾乎違反邏輯的事件，包括吉普賽女兒（埃斯梅拉達飾）的童貞復活，然後又再次失去。該劇的一個主題是接受隨著年齡的增長和可能變得無關緊要的想法。 生產歷史 靈感 1946 年，威廉斯描述了該劇的起源，其中描述了他在 1945 年如何帶著浪漫、夢幻的心情訪問墨西哥，當時： 我瞥見了一幅幼稚的題詞，我在美國一千個不同的公共場所見過，但在墨西哥從未見過。基羅伊在這裡，它宣布......他像小號上的熱樂一樣進入奏鳴曲，他和他生活的世界，壁壘街上的當舖，吉特尼舞廳
