Who can resist the charm, the power, the desolation and the philosophic poignancy of Tennessee Williams? Of course there’s sexual intrigue, nobility and enormous compassion—he’s the best Southern storyteller of his generation! Set at sunset on the beach of a lush Mexican cabana, two lost travelers run away from their past and find each other—in the most unusual of circumstances. “Awesome and powerful,” writes the NY World Telegram & Sun. “Williams at the top of his form,” writes The New York Times. Directed by Kevin Slay.
