To celebrate Tennessee Williams’ 100th birthday Kilburn’s consistently exciting Cock Tavern Theatre has announced plans to stage two of the writer’s previously unperformed plays, I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays and A Cavalier for Milady.
Hamish McDougall will direct I Never Get Dressed, a previously unpublished late work that was written in 1970 – just after Williams spent a spell in rehab. Set in New Orleans, the play focuses on the relationship between a playwright, an actor and a director.
Gene David Kirk, who recently directed an engaging revival of Williams’ rarely performed The Two-Character Play at Jermyn Street Theatre, will then direct A Cavalier for Milady, one of the playwright’s final written works, and as with so much of Williams’ writing, a portrait of his mother, sister and self.
I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays runs from 1 – 26 March followed by A Cavalier for Milady, which will run from 29 March – 23 April 2011.
