The creator of such American stage classics as A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, and THE GLASS MENAGERIE, Williams also published over seventy one-act plays. Of these, Dirt Dogs Theatre presents THE LADY OF LARKSPUR LOTION, PORTRAIT OF A MADONNA, TALK TO ME LIKE THE RAIN AND LET ME LISTEN, SOMETHING UNSPOKEN, and THE LONG GOODBYE for FIVE BY TENN.
A New Orleans landlord tries to collect rent from a couple of delusional derelicts who
believe to be a plantation owner and renowned artist in THE LADY OF LARKSPUR LOTION.
PORTRAIT OF A MADONNA tells the story of a former debutante fighting time, but losing the battle.
TALK TO ME LIKE THE RAIN AND LET ME LISTEN is a morning after story between a man and a woman longing for another chance at life and each other.
SOMETHING UNSPOKEN follows a Grande Dame's attempt to stay relevant by becoming Regent of her local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
In THE LONG GOODBYE, a young writer attempts to vacate the home of his youth, leaving behind only memories and ghosts.
