Ruth and Augustus Goetz’s intense dramatic masterpiece 'The Immoralist' completed a historic, highly publicized original Broadway premiere run at the Royale Theatre in 1954, running for a successful commercial residency. Adapted from André Gide’s controversial autobiographical novel, the claustrophobic psychological thriller unfolds inside an isolated villa in French Algeria, tracking a young archaeologist whose new marriage collapses into a tragic crisis when he is forced to confront his repressed homosexuality. Directed by Daniel Mann, the production achieved mythical status by casting a young James Dean in his second and final Broadway appearance as Bachir, performing alongside Geraldine Page.
