Play · Off-West End
Tennessee Williams' gripping play, Suddenly Last Summer, tells the haunting tale of Violet Venable, who seeks to protect her late son Sebastian's reputation, while her niece Catharine recounts a different, challenging version of last summer's events. Directed by Michael Grandage, the production stars Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Harriet Walter (The House of Bernarda Alba) as a young doctor must decide whose truth to believe.
