We’d been on a relatively poor run at the theatre for six months. This was more like it!
This production of an early Tennessee Williams was twinned with a production of an early Eugene O’Neil, Beyond The Horizon, which we went to see a few weeks later – click here.
Janie and I are partial to a bit of Tennessee Williams. While this early play is not one of his great plays, it shows all the signs of an emerging great playwright and was a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the theatre.
A very strong cast and production from a regional source; the Royal & Derngate Northampton.
The critics loved it; this search term – click here – will find you the reviews and stuff; mostly for both but some for this play specifically.
We probably got some food from Shanghai Knightsbridge, “May’s”, afterwards. Either that or shawarmas.
