SADC's production of this acclaimed play by legendary playwright Tennessee Williams. Originally performed in 1961 on Broadway with a cast that included Bette Davis and Shelley Winters, it won its author his fourth New York Drama Critics Award and received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play. It was turned into an Oscar-winning film in 1964, starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr.Perceptive and sometimes intense but also entertaining, The Night of the Iguana is a dramatic masterpiece by one of the greats of American theatre. Almost Shakespearian in its treatment of important and universal themes, this powerful play has comic moments and a running gag of low farce. Set in a run-down hotel on the edge of the Mexican jungle, a very diverse group of people come together in the heat of the tropics. The three main characters have something in common – they have reached a crisis in their lives. As they grapple with their prospects for the future, will the changes they face free them from their pasts?
Please note this play contains adult themes.
