By: BWW News Desk
Artscape in association with Abrahamse & Meyer Productions presents Tennessee Williams' KINGDOM OF THE EARTH at Artscape ARENA, 13 – 30 December, starring AnThea Thompson, Marcel Meyer and Nicholas Dallas. Check out photos of the main cast below!
The production features direction, set and lighting design by Fred Abrahamse, with costume design by Marcel Meyer and an original score by Charl-Johan Lingenfelder.
Torn between two brothers… 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.
