I wrote the following in my log around the time:
Unusual production; worked in many but not all respects.
Originally done at Citizens Theatre, Glasgow in October 1994.
This play is not, in my view, top notch Tennessee Williams, so there was possibly only so much that could be done with it. Philip Prowse did his best as director. Rupert Everett flamboyantly and memorably played the role of Flora Goforth.
Like us, Nicholas de Jongh was impressed by the performances but not 100% sure about the play in The Standard:

Susannah Clapp in the Observer observed the performance as uber-camp

Charles Spencer in The Telegraph didn’t like it much:
