In this original work by Dennis Murphy, Only Rose explores the poignant relationship between playwright Tennessee Williams and his sister, Rose, who was the most enduring relationship of his life and the inspiration for The Glass Menagerie as well as other Williams’ plays. In this play, Tennessee is confronted by his younger self (Tom) for an evening of self-evaluation in order to answer the question: Did Tennessee abandon Rose when she needed him the most? Behind the scenes from Williams’ life, Only Rose explores the human need to connect and what can happen when that connection is broken.
