For their Spring production, Dartington Playgoers present ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ by Tennessee Williams, directed by Mike Davies at 7.30pm each evening in Studio 1, Space, Dartington Hall estate. A play about truth, deceit and memory. In her New Orleans mansion, the wealthy and reclusive Violet Venable grieves over the sudden death of her beloved son Sebastian the previous summer. Only her niece Catherine knows the truth, but is traumatised by it. Mrs Venable seeks the help of Dr Cukrowicz, the leading specialist in a controversial new technique for removing harmful ideas from the mind. The truth threatens to destroy Mrs. Venable’s fond memories of her son and expose a dark history that none of them wants to believe. See: http://www.playgoers.co.uk/.
