The Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams
October 7-23, 2010
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30pm
at the Columbia Performance Center

Considered one of Tennessee Williams’ finest plays, The Night of the Iguana is full of intense drama, biting wit and sexual tension. Set in 1940s Mexico, an American widow endeavors to keep both her tropical hotel and her love life intact. Her guests include: the defrocked Reverend Shannon, desperately struggling with addictions to alcohol and young women; the ethereal yet penniless artist Hannah Jelkes; her grandfather Nonno, “the oldest living and practicing poet;” a family of boisterous Germans; and a difficult busload of Baptist women. This Tony Award-winning play by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Tennessee Williams is a provocative exploration of human struggle and passion.
