Suddenly Last Summer

October 22 at 7pm – October 25

At Forrest Theatre

Washington Square West, Philadelphia

Reviewers note that accessible seating is limited and lacks elevator access to upper levels, so plan accordingly.
Visitors mention that lines for the single accessible restroom can get long during the short intermission.

Tennessee Williams' feverish one-act play becomes a sweltering chamber opera under the direction of Tony Award winner Daniel Fish and composer Courtney Bryan, running for sixty intermission-free minutes at the Forrest Theatre with soprano Mikaela Bennett as Catherine Holly.
