Theatr Clwyd’s Artistic Director Tamara Harvey directs the Theatr Clwyd and Menier Chocolate Factory co-production of Tennessee Williams’ Orpheus Descending.

Lady is trapped in a loveless marriage, surrounded by intolerant people, living a boring small-town life. But when a wild-eyed charismatic drifter appears a new life of love and passion suddenly seem possible. Everything will change as certainty, conformity and tradition are ripped apart.

Tennessee William’s Deep South American drama is directed by Theatr Clwyd’s Artistic Director Tamara Harvey. Orpheus Descending began its life as Battle of Angels in 1940, and was first performed on Broadway in 1957. In 1959, Sidney Lumet directed the film adaptation, The Fugitive Kind, starring Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani.

       

Orpheus Descending is at Theatr Clwyd 15 – 27 April 2019 and Menier Chocolate Factory 9 May – 6 July 2019.
