Suddenly Last Summer

Sebastian died suddenly last summer. His mother clings to him in death as she clung to him in life. In the sultry heat of New Orleans, she plans her act of revenge on the girl she believes stole Sebastian from her. Tennessee Williams is theatre’s poet of impossible love and this, one of his finest plays, is given a new production by Sheffield Theatres’ award-winning Associate Director, Michael Grandage.

Suddenly Last Summer presents a rare opportunity to see two of the country’s most distinguished actors on stage. Victoria Hamilton’s West End work includes the multi award-winning A Day in the Death of Joe Egg and Stephen Poliakoff’s Sweet Panic. Diana Rigg’s most recent work includes Humble Boy and Mother Courage and her Children (National Theatre).
