Tempting!

“One Arm,” a short story by Williams, written in 1942 and initially published in an expensive limited edition, tells of an aspiring boxer who loses his arm in a car accident and turns to prostitution for a living. Abrahamse and Meyer have adapted that short story for the stage as a tour-de-force for two actors focusing on the relationship between the convicted hustler and a young Lutheran Minister who visits him on death row. Explicit and daring, One Arm gives a graphic account of the homosexual underworld during 1940s while at the same time, being one of Williams’ most poignant portraits of a mutilated body and soul.

Abrahamse and Meyer first came to Provincetown in 2012 with their award-winning production of Williams’ Kingdom of Earth. In the ten years since, the Festival has been privileged to present Abrahamse and Meyer’s productions of Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore (2013, 2015), Sweet Bird of Youth (2017), The Night of the Iguana (2019), Shakespeare’s Hamlet (2017), Eugene O’Neill’s Desire Under the Elms (2016) and Yukio Mishima’s The Lady Aoi (2014, 2019).
