9 – 12 April
Fox and Hound Theatre Company are proud to present A Trio of Tennessee Williams, featuring three of Williams’ lesser performed works:
Ivan’s Widow: A widow struggles to differentiate between fantasy and reality. She seeks help from a psychiatrist, a cold predatory man, determined to make a breakthrough in her case
Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen : A couple find themselves in a cycle of deprivation. With ravaged appearances, the scene between them is one of eternal repetition, where emotions are worn out and the hopelessly unalterable is accepted.
27 Wagons Full of Cotton: In desperate times, rules are different. Do two wrongs make a right? A dysfunctional relationship is at the centre of this disturbing look at abuse and how one woman may find her silver lining.
These three pieces showcase the range and complexity of both the writer, and the characters he creates; focusing specifically on his talent to write strong and powerful females trapped in difficult situations.
