Set in the deep south of New Orleans, Tennessee Williams' savage drama Suddenly Last Summer pits two women against each other in a passionate battle for possession of the story of the death of a young man they both love. Wealthy and ferocious society matron, Violet Venable, who once traveled the world with her urbane and amusing son, Sebastian, will stop at nothing to instill her version of "the truth" against Catharine Holly, a poor relation, and eye witness to Sebastian's final voyage and violent demise. This groundbreaking and fascinating play concerns not only terrible secrets (homosexuality, insanity, murder and cannibalism), but basic truth and falsehood, and the ways in which human beings use one another.

Playing in repertory with Portrait of a Madonna.
