Cat on A Hot Tin Roof - 1955 - Broadway Articles Page 10

One of Tennessee Williams' finest and most famous plays, Suddenly Last Summer is a psychological southern gothic drama set on a summer evening in the garden district of New Orleans at the end of the 1930s. The poet, Sebastian Venable, is dead. And his traveling companion and cousin, Catherine Holly (Larissa Archer), believes she has witnessed 'something unspeakable'. Sebastian's mother (Joyce Henderson) secures the support of Dr. Cukrowicz (Mark Bird) from the State Psychiatric Hospital in an attempt to 'preserve the memory and reputation of her son'. As an investigation into the mysterious death of Sebastian Venable unfolds, Mrs. Venable goes to extraordinary lengths to stop Catherine from telling her version of the events last summer.
