To Flee, Flee This sad Hotel (2006)
To coincide with the 2006 Tennessee Williams Literary Festival, ArtSpot Productions presented an evocation/invocation of the life and career of New Orleans’ favorite playwright, inspired by and adapted from his memoirs, letters and essays.
In various settings from his life—apartments in New Orleans and New York, the Barnes Hospital in St. Louis—Randels portrays Tennessee Williams and two of his beloved heroines, Maggie the Cat and Blanche Dubois, in this unique picture of America’s greatest 20th century playwright.
Extracts from works by Tennessee Williams presented through special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.
What wellsprings of imagination and inner turmoil fueled Tennessee Williams’ life-long career in the theatre, and his creation of such vivid yet fragile heroines?
