Bellevue Hill Park [CUF]

Directed by Ellie Conniff

Go on a tour of the galaxy with one of the greatest playwrights of all time: Tennessee Williams. Join him as he navigates the stars of the night sky and memories with the stars he worked with throughout his career. Meet Marlon Brando as Tennessee did. Meet Bette Davis backstage at The Night of the Iguana. Go one one of Tennessee’s many adventures with Truman Capote. Or meet Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Katherine Hepburn, and Greta Garbo at their most outrageous, their most desperate, and their most human, as Tennessee struggles to make sense of the alcohol-soaked mess that made up his life, his career, and his relationships. From the Regular Theatre, in partnership with Wilde Award-winning playwright Maxim Vinogradov, comes the regional premiere of this Hopwood Award-winning play about the folly of fame, elusiveness of memory, and the people that make life worth remembering.

FALLEN ANGELS Runs June 7-23

CTC_Fallen Angels promoFALLEN ANGELS
Commonwealth Theatre Company
June 7-23
NKU Stauss Theater [Highland Heights]

Directed by Mike King

Before Julia and Jane married their husbands Fred and Willy – there was Maurice, a former French lover. While the women’s blissfully ignorant husbands are away on a golf trip, he shows up and reminds them of what they might be missing. Following an evening of drunkenness and fevered anticipation, Julia and Jane become concerned that indiscretions from their past will be revealed, and comedic antics ensue. Fallen Angels is a biting, hilarious comedy about rivalry and manners, resulting in a champagne cocktail of wit and charm.
