Talk to Me Like the Rain: Short Plays by Tennessee Williams

Livingston’s Blue Slipper Theatre will present four one-act plays by American theatre icon Tennessee Williams and directed by Marc Beaudin.
Talk to Me Like the Rain: Short Plays by Tennessee Williams includes a sampling of two-person dramas written from 1940-1970. Together, the plays examine the variety of ways people strive to connect and sometimes fail to connect.
“Auto-Da-Fé,” featuring Merin Coats and John Henry Haseltine, explores the dangers of religious fanaticism and repressed desire. “I Can’t Imagine Tomorrow,” featuring Meriweather
Campbell and Emily Jones, is a look at the interdependency of close friends and one-time lovers faced with looming changes. “Mooney’s Kid Don’t Cry,” featuring John Henry Haseltine and Emily Jones, pits a young couple’s dreams against a seemingly bleak reality.
Rounding out the production, “Talk to Me Like the Rain And Let Me Listen,” featuring Arlen Guest and Aya Rordam, is a poetic rumination on despair and hope.
