Mortal Ladies Possessed

Throughout 2006 and 2007

In this beautifully crafted theatrical re-imagining of a selection of wild and evocative tales from Tennessee Williams' short stories, all the rage and passion of Williams' prose creations is brought to life.

Gaining permission from the Williams estate for this adaptation is remarkable in itself; the bewitching power of Marlowe seamlessly shifting between characters makes this all the more compelling a reminder of the sensual and lyrical plays which made Williams famous. His short stories bear all the trademark qualities of his plays, focussing on characters pushed to the edge.

Ladies full of desire, full of life - sometimes powerful, always desperate. Marlowe brings her unique physical and comic style to bear on Tennessee's little known masterpieces...
