Stage, Film and Silksoundbooks star
Susannah York will be appearing from tomorrow in the
Tennessee Williams play
The Lady of Larkspur Lotion.
The one-act play will be part of the New End Theatre's Tennessee Williams Triple Bill, which starts on September 23. The other two plays are
This Property Is Condemned and
Talk To Me Like The Rain. All three plays will be directed by Ninon Jerome.
The plays are full of the perception of life as it is and the passion for life as it might be. In
This Property is Condemned we meet Willie, a young girl who has worked out her own survival strategy as her friend Tom looks helplessly on. In
Talk to Me Like the Rain a couple try to cling to each other when there is little left in their relationship. In
The Lady of Larkspur Lotion a faded Southern belle, despite being reduced to prostitution, tries gamely to maintain a façade of gentility while living in a fleabag hotel. These are three of Williams’ most poignant and moving plays.
If a London theatre is too out of the way for you, all is not lost! Susannah brings her wonderful voice to her Silksoundbooks unabridged audio book
My Lady Ludlow written by
Elizabeth Gaskell.
