The Night of the Iguana a play by Tennessee Williams

Sutton Amateur Dramatic Club (SADC) presents "The Night of the Iguana" by Tennessee Williams. This play is the last by Tennessee Williams to achieve major artistic, critical and box office success. 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, all exquisitely rendered through the master craftsman’s “melodious” writing, comes 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?

This production includes material of an adult nature.
