Inspired by his own turbulent life, Tennessee Williams’ timeless portrait of a shattered family is one of the most iconic dramas of the 20th century.
Amanda Wingfield can’t help but dream of the past — a long-gone adolescence of lavish parties and high society suitors. But her present is anything but dazzling. Living in squalor with her two adult children Tom and Laura, the bills are piling up and pressure to secure the Wingfield family’s future is swelling. Will a gentleman caller be the answer to their problems?
With Blazey Best as the indomitable matriarch Amanda Wingfield, director Liesel Badorrek (MASTER CLASS) reignites Tennessee Williams’ beautifully crafted and devastating slice of life.
