Candy Delaney is a “New Orleans queen”  approaching her dreaded 35th birthday. While Candy is looking for romance, her newest pickup is looking for his next drink. Audiences are welcomed into Candy’s apartment, champagne in hand, for this stunning portrait of unrequited love. This rarely seen Tennessee Williams chamber play is coproduced with Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival.

“Among Williams’s greatest artistic gifts was his ability to awaken compassion for the misfit and the lovelorn by revealing the poetry in their souls.” The New York Times
