I have spent many evenings with Tennessee Williams. Not..in the biblical sense of course, but, when you see or read one of his plays they seep into you...deep into your soul. There is a line in our upcoming "Suddenly, Last Summer" that says, to paraphrase, "a poet is his work and his work is the poet". On this evening as in many before this I feel that I know this man...understand his pain and agony...and joy. I sit here tonight as the curtain of another evening begins to fall and feel that he is a bit closer tonight than others....and he will be even closer this Friday when we open his poetic masterpiece at SCTC. Come and let his words work their magic on you as well. See you at the theatre.
