Written by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Michael Wilson

Cast includes James Earl Jones, Bill Heck, Dana Delany, Amanda Plummer, Elizabeth Ashley, and Remo Airaldi.

On the edge of the Mexican jungle, a group of troubled travelers seek shelter from a storm. Directed by Michael Wilson (Broadway’s The Trip to Bountiful, The Best Man), Williams’ feverishly poetic 1961 drama follows a hotel proprietress and the scandal-soaked Southern preacher who turns up on her veranda. A Nantucket portrait artist traveling with her ancient grandfather, a bus full of fuming Texan college administrators, and a party of vacationers collide in this drama about how far we travel to outrun the demons within.
