The Australian premiere of this one man show will play: Ron Hurley Theatre, Brisbane, from August 11th - 12th.Sometimes labelled "The Man Who Queered Broadway", Tennessee Williams is widely recognized as a gay icon due to his groundbreaking plays that explored taboo topics related to sexuality and gender. He lived openly as a gay man at a time when homosexuality was heavily stigmatized and criminalized. Through his writing, Williams challenged societal norms and contributed to the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights and representation in the arts.Many of Williams' works (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Streetcar Named Desire, The Glass Menagerie) feature in the QCAA prescribed text lists for senior students of Drama and Literature in Queensland, making this a great opportunity for young people studying the famous American playwright.
