Actor Peter Lockyer recently returned to his native Connecticut to play in a five-character memory play by what famous American playwright?
The Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie is a five-character memory play by Tennessee Williams that premiered in 1944 and catapulted Williams from obscurity to fame. The play has strong autobiographical elements, featuring characters based on Williams himself, his histrionic mother, and his mentally fragile sister Rose. In writing the play, Williams drew on an earlier short story, as well as a screenplay he had written under the title of "The Gentleman Caller".
Spring Storm Spring Storm is a 1937 play written by American playwright Tennessee Williams. Tennessee Williams wrote "Spring Storm" when he was twenty-six years old, in 1937, while studying as an apprentice. "Spring Storm" received poor reviews in Williams’s playwriting course, and it did not receive its first production until 1995 in Berkeley, California. The European premiere took place at the Royal & Derngate Northampton on 15 October 2009, running alongside "Beyond the Horizon" by Eugene O'Neill. Both productions subsequently transferred to the Royal National Theatre in 2010 to the Cottesloe Theatre. Written and rewritten between 1937 and 1938, this full-length play depicts life and conflicted love in a small Mississippi Delta town during the Great Depression.
