The 7th Annual Tennessee Williams Festival: THE ROSE TATTOO

THE ROSE TATTOO
Directed by David Kaplan

A not to be missed production of Williams' romantic comedy, seen through the lens of an Italian one-ring circus!

The Rose Tattoo is a tale of love, death, and resilience in a downtrodden but hopeful 1940’s immigrant Italian community on the American Gulf Coast.

Introducing the theme of an Italian circus, Kaplan’s take on Williams’ classic features aerialists, animals, singers and musicians. He surrounds Serafina with a dozen circus performers – including a ringmaster, a strongman, aerialists, and clowns – who perform the full text of the play.

Live goats, accordions, impassioned acting, a play that celebrates the wisdom of desire. What's not to like?
