Rarely Seen Tennessee Williams One-Acts Revisited and Revived in White Horse Theater Company’s “Three by Tennessee” at The Players, April 16 & 17

NEW YORK CITY – White Horse Theater Company continues its mission of re-examining American classics and shedding new light on seldom-produced works with “Three by Tennessee” – a celebration of the one-acts of Tennessee Williams. The special two-night engagement takes place on April 16 & 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Union Square’s legendary social club, The Players.
In “The Lady of Larkspur Lotion,” directed by Cyndy A. Marion, a delusional, impoverished woman clings to fantasies of wealth while clashing with her cynical landlady until a sensitive struggling writer who shares her desire for illusion, comes to her aid. Featuring Laura Fay Lewis*, Michael Wiener, and Nancy Wolfe.
“Something Unspoken” is Williams’ 1951 two–hander that explores the unspoken tensions between a wealthy Southern woman and her devoted secretary – revealing themes of power, repression, and unacknowledged desire. Directed by Cyndy A. Marion and featuring Linda S. Nelson* and Laura Siner*.
Williams’ classic “At Liberty” is directed by Yonatan Esterkin and features Margaret Curry* and Leslie Alexander* in the story of an aging, disillusioned actress returning home to her overbearing mother and torn between her dreams of stardom and the painful reality of her unfulfilled ambitions.
Says Producing Artistic Director Cyndy A. Marion, “White Horse has a reputation for staging acclaimed productions of Williams’ plays and the material couldn’t be more relevant. The themes of fantasy vs. reality, optimism in the face of adversity, vulnerability vs. brute force, and having the courage to be who you are in a repressive society are all very significant in the current political climate.”
