From the Pulitzer Prize winning author, and one of America’s greatest playwrights, comes Tennessee Williams' semi-autobiographical masterpiece. Set in St. Louis in the 1930s, it tells the story of the Wingfield family and stars Francesca Annis as Amanda, Katie Kirby as Laura, Garrett Lombard as Tom and Marty Rea as The Gentleman Caller. Rich in bittersweet nostalgia, this powerfully haunting and timeless ‘memory play’ received the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play in 1945.
