About the Show

Tennessee Williams' rarely performed drama about a woman's dying wish to continue her promiscuous life.

Set in a villa on the Amalfi coast, Flora Goforth - a wealthy woman who is dying - catches a young man who has allegedly trespassed on her estate. The man - Chris - tried to sell the old woman his poems and even his body to Flora. To her, someone who has lived a full and promiscuous life and is in mortal fear of relinquishing it, Chris comes as an answer to a carnal prayer.

Robert Chevara directs.
