Clap your hands and shake a leg at the plays we're presenting in September 2012 at the 7th Annual Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival.

This year's theme takes dramatic notice of the pleasures of music in Tennessee Williams' plays, where he put everything from Christmas carols, pop tunes, Country and Western ballads, Mississippi blues, Mexican love songs and more. His poetry has a music all its own.

Plays will be performed in venues all over Provincetown, where you can bend an ear to a timeworn classic, or tap your toes to something brand new... all inspired by Tennessee Williams.

"In memory everything seems to happen to music"
– The Glass Menagerie

The Glass Menagerie

This is classic Williams at its best. As a desperate son boils inside his family's stifling apartment, the band from the Paradise Dance Hall can be heard playing on the other side of the alley.

 

Gift of an Orange

Sparked by the short story "Gift of an Apple" a Cajun-flavored play about an older woman's passion, set to African drums.

 

 

This Property is Condemed: i Blues di Tennessee Williams

From Bergamo, Italy, European blues meets short Williams plays for an unforgettable sound.

 

 

Autumn Song

Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry - an early Williams influence - set to gripping new music by composer George Maurer.

 

 

The Tennessee Williams Songbook

Broadway favorite Alison Fraser returns to Provincetown singing pop and jazz standards from Williams' plays.

 

And much more...
