Tennessee Williams One-Acts Hosted by Zoe Caldwell 3/23
"The peak of my virtuosity was in the one-act plays. Some of which are like firecrackers in a rope."
- Tennessee Williams in a letter to Elia Kazan.
Expect a sparkling debut to our 2011 Festival with "Bright, Beautiful Things: A World Premiere of Tennessee Williams One-Acts" a special event hosted by the incomparable four-time Tony award winner, Zoe Caldwell on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at Southern Repertory Theatre.
Get your tickets now to be amongst the first to see three never-before produced one-acts by our namesake playwright.
"The Pretty Trap: A Comedy in One Act" follows the Wingfield family and sheds unique light on the seminal full-length play it grew into, The Glass Menagerie. "The Magic Tower" depicts a bohemian artist couple's struggles to live their dreams, while "Every Twenty Minutes" is a satire of modern life. The performances, directed by Aimée Hayes and produced by the Southern Repertory Theatre, promise new revelations about Williams' work and genius.
