One Arm, Moisés Kaufman's fast, fierce, brutally beautiful stage adaptation of an unproduced screenplay by Tennessee Williams, is more than a play: It's a time machine. The play tells the tale of Ollie (a stolid, solid, breathtakingly great Claybourne Elder), a boxing champ who loses his right arm in an accident and finds himself reduced to hustling johns in New Orleans' French Quarter. It's the frank, ferocious, formally experimental latter-day Williams play that the latter-day Williams himself didn't seem capable of writing.
