Williams’ rarely-seen masterpiece makes its South African première at Artscape this December after a highly successful debut in the USA at this years’ Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theatre Festival. The production played to standing ovations and was lauded by Williams’ aficionados and scholars as one of the finest productions to date of this savage, sexy and darkly-comic play.

Terminally ill Lot returns to the Mississippi Delta with his new bride, Myrtle to reclaim his ancestral home from his brooding, feral half-brother, Chicken. As rain falls and the river threatens to flood the land, these three lost souls engage in a brutal power play for the possession of all they’ve ever known.

Directed by the acclaimed Fred Abrahamse the play stars multiple award-winning actress, Anthea Thompson as Myrtle, Marcel Meyer as Chicken and Nicholas Dallas as Lot.

What the American press said:

“Who would imagine it would take a troupe from South Africa to bring Williams’ words to life, but that’s exactly what happened in a nuanced but forceful revival of KINGDOM OF EARTH. There was so much energy on that stage, so many great Williams’ lines. All three actors were perfect in their roles. The staging was impeccable, everything worked. The actors earned two curtain calls and standing ovations.” - Sue Harrison
