WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in a dilapidated boarding house in New Orleans, Widow Holly (from the short story "The Coming of Something to Widow Holly") conjures the exotic female guests that have passed through her doors. Colorful characters from Tennessee Williams' little known works, - including "The Interval," "Man Bring This Up Road," "In Memory of an Aristocrat" and "Oriflamme" - make memorable appearances in this sometimes haunting, often hilarious and extrememly passionate theatrical re-imagination.
Linda Marlowe stars in this work by Matthew Hurt, directed by Stuart Mullins.
