by Tennessee Williams

Fri 30 Sept - Sat 15 Oct

The play that made Tennessee Williams a great star of American theatre.

Written before his other masterpieces, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire, it is a funny yet heartbreaking portrait of a 1930’s family in crisis.

Aging Southern belle Amanda Wingfield has fallen on hard times. Once the most popular girl in town, she had her pick of suitors – but chose the wrong one. Now, she longs to find an eligible bachelor for her painfully shy and fragile daughter, Laura.

When son, Tom, brings a workmate home for dinner, could he be the gentleman caller of Amanda’s dreams? Or will her world of fantasy and nostalgia finally be shattered?

“beautiful, affecting and finally devastating . . .
a masterpiece.”
