The Night of the Iguana

The Night of the Iguana

Die Nacht des Leguan (Originaltitel: The Night of the Iguana) ist ein von Tennessee Williams geschriebenes Theaterstück über einen als Reiseleiter tätigen ehemaligen Priester, der durch ein pubertierendes 16-jähriges Mädchen und dessen amouröse Absichten, denen er allerdings widersteht, in Schwierigkeiten gerät.

Das Theaterstück hatte 1961 am Broadway Premiere und war dort Williams' letzter großer Erfolg. Zwei Jahre später wurde das Stück unter gleichem Titel vom amerikanischen Regisseur John Huston mit großem Staraufgebot (u. a. Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr) verfilmt (siehe Die Nacht des Leguan (Film)). Bei der Verfilmung entfielen die in der originalen Bühnenversion vorkommenden Rollen von Nazis als Mitglieder der Reisegesellschaft. Eine Neuverfilmung erfolgte 2001.
