Review: SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER at Altarena Playhouse
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - May 31, 2025
SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER at Altarena Playhouse is a slow burn of a Tennessee Williams’ play that never fully catches fire. It is a challenging play that delves into darker themes while retaining some of the lyricism of William’s style. With a focus on mental illness, manipulation, perversion, pride, and greed, the show can be oppressively heavy and cumbersome at times. A revelation is waiting at the apex. The only question is is it worth the climb?
