About the Show
Lady is trapped in a loveless marriage, surrounded by intolerant people, living a boring small-town life. But when a wild-eyed charismatic drifter appears a new life of love and passion suddenly seem possible. Everything will change as certainty, conformity and tradition are ripped apart.
Tennessee Williams’ deep-south American drama is directed by Theatr Clwyd’s Artistic Director Tamara Harvey (Home, I’m Darling).
