The Night of the Iguana
Tennesse Williams' classic drama
September 6 - 22
“The Night of the Iguana reminds us of the dazzling
gifts [Tennessee] Williams possessed.”
– The New York Times
In a seedy hotel on the Mexican coast, a defrocked minister-turned-tour guide teeters on the brink of a nervous breakdown as his justly agitated tour party threatens to revolt. The last shreds of his morality are tested by the hotel’s lusty proprietress, a teenage temptress and a virginal spinster. As the veils fall, Williams’ characters grow richer, darker and more compellingly universal, echoing themes running through his epic masterpieces, “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “The Glass Menagerie.”
