​“The Two Character Play” by Tennessee Williams first premiered in 1967 in London - the only Tennessee Williams play to have a world premiere outside the US!, remained relatively undiscovered for years in Europe, returned to the same stage triumphantly in London in 2021. An incredible, rarely performed Tennessee Williams play. Along with Eugene O’Neill and Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams is the foremost playwright of 20th-century American drama, famous of course for his iconic cult melodramas on screen and off - The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and more…

"I think it is my most beautiful play since Streetcar, the very heart of my life"… - Tennessee Williams

​

"...The Two Character Play is at its heart desperate, a portrait of madness and despair, a reminder that we’re all of us trapped on our own little stages, struggling with life’s tape decks and lighting rigs and missing staircases in an attempt to hold it all together." (London, 2021)
