These classes are an opportunity to read and discuss some of the short dramas by Tennessee Williams. Lead by UK theatre director Laurie Sansom, who directed the European premier of Tennessee Williams’ first full length play Spring Storm in 2010 and until recently was the Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the National Theatre of Scotland, these sessions will focus on the themes, imagery and dramatic potential of some of this great dramatist’s lesser known and surprising work. The sessions will conclude in a public reading of the most interesting play we have discovered on Tue Oct, 11.
