About This Event
The Filigree Theatre presents...
SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Elizabeth V. Newman
This shocking drama, set in 1930’s New Orleans, follows troubled young socialite, Catharine Holly. Catharine is the only witness willing to speak up about terrible events that unfolded in Spain the summer prior while traveling with her Cousin Sebastian. Violet Venable, Sebastian’s mother, a Grande Dame of the affluent Garden District, wants Catharine, and her lurid story, silenced at any cost. In Suddenly Last Summer, where every character’s real agenda lie hidden, masked behind society’s expectations, the truth is as illusory as looking through a glass - a mirror - darkly.
