By Tennessee Williams

'Suddenly last summer… beneath the white-hot blazing sun of Cabeza de Lobo… I saw Cousin Sebastian die…’

A summer afternoon. The aging Mrs Venable brings her niece, Cathy, to the monstrous garden of her recently deceased son - a mysterious figure rumoured to have died in grotesque circumstances. The only witness to his death, the source of these rumours, and seemingly mad, Cathy has been brought here to be silenced once and for all…

Suddenly Last Summer is Tennessee Williams’ most shocking play, a Southern Gothic drama about saintliness, insanity, and cannibalism, but also a tender exploration into the loneliness common to all humanity and the way it can distort our love.
