The Wooster Group will present the New York premiere of its latest multimedia stage work, Tennessee Williams' Vieux Carré at the Baryshnikov Arts Center from February 2-27. As previously reported, it will play the REDCAT Theatre in Los Angeles in December.

The production, to be directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, will feature actors Kate Valk, Scott Shepherd, Ari Fliakos, Kaneza Schaal, and Daniel Pettrow.

The autobiographical play is set in the boarding house where Williams lived in the New Orleans French Quarter during the Depression and centers on a young writer struggling with literary ambitions, loneliness and homosexuality.
