The production was dedicated to a TTS founding member, actor Kevin Cleary, who was killed on 9/11. The evening's plays were directed by Jared Coseglia, Michael French, and Eva Minemar and presented by TTS Artistic Director John-Dylan Howard.

The New York premiere production received respectable critical and commercial success for the writer. This three-act play went on to be produced in London in 2004 and again in Prague in 2006, where it has since been on a six-year sold-out tour of Eastern Europe. In 2011, the play opened in Buenos Aires as Noches Romanas under the direction of Oscar Barney Finn; that year it was also performed in France, Italy, and Spain as part of various international Tennessee Williams centenary celebrations. In 2011, the playwright created an alternate, shorter production version of that play entitled Tenn & Anna. In November 2011, Eva Minemar directed Italian actress Lidia Vitale in Solo Anna, a new one-woman play D'Alessandro wrote which draws from his years of researching and writing about Anna Magnani; it played again to sold-out crowds in Los Angeles and Rome in 2012 under the direction of Minemar. It arrived on the New York stage in 2012 and has been touring since 2013. The play received two major theater awards, the Premio Anna Magnani and the Enriquez Award for Excellence in Theater.
