Show Notes

Three By Tenn

Directed By KATHERINE ALMQUIST; Produced By DAVID ALMQUIST

Slapstick Tragedy.  Far out tragic-comedy in the genre of Theatre of the Absurd, with a touch of Theatre for Cruelty.

The Gnadiges Fraulein is set in a rickety bunkhouse, for “permanent transients,” whose characters include a society columnist, a frowzy crone, a demented former Viennese vaudevillian, a Cacaloony bird and a blond-wigged Indian.

Two lonely children inhabit This Property Is Condemned, abandoned and aching for human connection.

Overdressed, heavily rouged ladies,  “...in the autumn of their youth” hit the town for a high old time during an annual convention in A Perfect Analysis Given By A Parrot.”

Tennessee Williams can compress the basic meaning of life—its pathos or its tragedy, its bravery or the quality of its love—into small scenes or a few moments of dialog.
