New End Theatre present three, Tennessee Williams One Act plays which are full of the perception of life as it is and the passion for life as it might be. These are three of Williams’ most poignant and moving plays.
This Property is Condemned
Talk to Me Like the Rain
The Lady of Larkspur Lotion
In This Property is Condemned we meet Willie, a young girl who has worked out her one survival strategy as her friend Tom looks helplessly on.
In Talk to Me Like the Rain a couple try to cling to each other when there is little left in their relationship.
In The Lady of Larkspur Lotion a faded Southern belle, despite being reduced to prostitution, tries gamely to maintain a façade of gentility while living in a fleabag hotel.

Reviews
"These five actors perform brilliantly...Total conviction – a packed and silent theatre holds its breath "
The News Line
"Lysette Anthony, an actress of classic beauty, gives an emotionally wrought performance ... the most committed I have seen in this much acclaimed, intimate venue"
The Stage
"The three short plays featured on this triple bill exude all the linguistic nuances of the downtrodden and out there, sometimes way out, that ardent Williams fans could ever hope for"
Extra Extra!
"A full house enjoyed a chance to see rarely performed Tennessee Williams plays in a worthwhile production by Ninon Jerome that gave a real feeling of the American South "
