Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts Ltd (3 Year BA (Hons) Acting Course) presents
Not About Nightingales by Tennessee Williams Gari Jones Performances take place at the Landor Theatre, SW9 9PH Not About Nightingales is remarkable both as the work of an unknown twenty-seven-year-old and as a first play to carry the signature "Tennessee" Williams. The subject matter is a prison scandal which shocked the nation in the mid-thirties when convicts leading a hunger strike in prison were locked in a steam-heated cell and roasted to death. "I have never written anything since that could compete with it in violence and horror",Williams said later about the full-length play he developed in 1938. It shows us the young Williams as a political writer in Depression America; its flashes of lyricism and compelling dialogue presage the great plays Williams was later to write.
