Williams' gay play to open in London
By Ed Harris, Evening Standard 16.01.07
Refusal: Tennessee Williams
Look here too
A play by Tennessee Williams which he refused to allow to be performed in his lifetime will have its European premiere in London in March.
And Tell Sad Stories Of The Death Of Queens is one of 13 works first published last year, 23 years after Williams's death aged 71. He had not allowed his most defiantly gay play to be performed because of its autobiographical homosexual content.
It will be presented with two otherworks from the collection, Mister Paradise and Summer At The Lake, under the banner Lovely And Misfit at Trafalgar Studio 2, in Whitehall. Director Anna Ledwich, 30, won permission to stage them after sending a "brazen" email to agent Tom Erhardt.
