Tennessee one-acts

Not an official Festival event, but running concurrently with it: The Marigny Theatre is presenting Tenn Times 3, three one-acts by you-know-who. The program (which opened last Friday) consists of "Fat's Man's Wife," "Adam & Eve on a Ferry," and "And Tell Sad Stories on the Death of Queens." Director Glenn Meche is blogging daily about the production; read all about it.

And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens is Williams' most frank portrayal of gay life in the 50s, tranvestites, and rough trade. Never staged in his lifetime, it's a dense, explosive gem of a one-act.
