Frank Merlo was the love of Tennessee Williams' life. Frank and Tenn spent many years together and Frank's death in 1957 shook Tenn until the day of his own death at the Hotel Elysee in 1983. During their time together, Frank took care of everything in their home life to allow Tennessee to write...to create...to become a legend. As we move into our second weekend of "Tennessee's Final Curtain" at SCTC think about love in all forms and...the ghosts of true love that may have left us..and how it affects all of us in all it's senses. After reading my play, the great actor Jeremey Lawrence, who has played Tennessee Williams all over the world, wrote this to me.."we all need a Frank in our lives". Please join us at Waterfront South Theatre and feel the ghosts and regrets of one of our greatest writers. And..to you all...I wish you the love of a "Frank" in all of your lives.
