Known as Tennessee Williams’s “love play to the world,” The Rose Tattoo revolves around the reignited passion of a Sicilian seamstress named Serafina, whose love, grief, and anger know no bounds. Serafina retreats to the safe haven of memories after the death of her husband, but when these memories are shattered by a horrible truth, the widow finds comfort in a truck driver who reminds her of her lost love. Living in a small immigrant town on the coast, Serafina struggles to come to terms with her own awakening desire, as well as that of her 15-year-old daughter, whom she can no longer shelter from the perils of love.
