Description

What led a young, unknown writer named Tom to become known to the world as the legendary playwright, Tennessee Williams? Tennessee Rising brings these unexplored years (1939-1945) centre stage as the audience plays the role of kind stranger to a young Williams, whilst he experiences the unexpected highs and devastating lows of his early life and career, wherein his most iconic character emerges, himself. Written and performed by United Solo Award winner Jacob Storms and originally directed for the stage by Alan Cumming.
