For the love of a sister

When you see Tennessee Williams' "Suddenly Last Summer" opening next Friday the 21st at SCTC, the familiar them of a lobotomy will be a large part of the play. Tennessee's beloved sister Rose, the muse for many of his characters, suffered from depression or "blue roses" as he called to in " The Glass Menagerie". She was' lobotomized and lived in a mental home until she died, 12 years after Tennessee. Tenn's life was forever marred by the treatment of his sister and the procedure shows up in many of his plays and a central theme of my own play"Tennessee's Final Curtain" coming to SCTC in February. Celebrate his 100th birthday at "Tenn X Ten" with us. Learn more about Tennessee as "the man IS the work and the work IS the man" .
