The Manhattan Theatre Club production of FIVE BY TENN, an evening of newly discovered one-act plays by Tennessee Williams, will begin previews tonight at NY City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street). The production will open on Thursday, November 11.

FIVE BY TENN will feature the world premieres of The Fat Man's Wife and Adam and Eve on a Ferry, the New York premieres of And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens and Summer at the Lake, as well as I Can't Imagine Tomorrow, which has been previously produced in New York.

FIVE BY TENN is directed by Michael Kahn. The ensemble cast will feature Kathleen Chalfant, Cameron Folmar, Penny Fuller, Hunter Gilmore, Jeremy Lawrence, David Rasche, Robert Sella and Myk Watford.

Four of the five one acts in FIVE BY TENN were found several years ago by scholars Nick Moschovakis and David Roessel in Austin while doing research for an edition of Williams' collected poems. Moschovakis and Roessel brought the plays, along with a dozen others, to director Michael Kahn's attention, and Kahn found Summer at the Lake, And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens, The Fat Man's Wife, and Adam and Eve on a Ferry especially stageworthy. Presented with the Williams gem, I Can't Imagine Tomorrow, they comprise FIVE BY TENN.
