Tennessee Williams, who helped shape the latter production, wrote a new monologue for Phillips, which Williams personally dictated to him when it was realized that leading lady Jill Eikenberry needed more time for a dress change.
He went on to appear in the premier of David Mamet's November at the Ethel Barrymore Theater and played the title character opposite Peter Dinklage in The Imaginary Invalid for Bard College's 2012 SummerScape Festival.
