Readers Theater presents "Mr. Williams and Miss Wood" Monday May 13 at Russell Library

"Mr. Williams and Miss Wood" is a play about
Tennessee Williams and his agent, Audrey Wood. 

Readers Theater will present the play, "Mr. Williams and Miss Wood" on Monday, May 13th at 7:00pm in the Hubbard Room of the Russell Library. 

The play is a backstage view of playwright Tennessee Williams. The two-character, two-act play by Max Wilk chronicles the close, yet often strained, 30-year relationship between Williams and his agent and friend Audrey Wood.

The story of how Wood mentored Williams’ genius into theatrical success, then stuck with him through his ups and downs is poignant and deeply moving. Williams’ personal story unfolds through letters, soliloquies and direct dialogue between the actors. We learn his lifetime assessment of the tough but kind-hearted Wood who introduced him to the American theater.

Readers Theater is live drama enacted by local actors and directed by Anne Cassady and Richard Kamins. Performances are free. Drop-in, no registration required.Sponsored by the Friends of the Russell Library.
