Ensemble Theatre is delighted to bring to the stage Tennessee Williams’ gothic melodrama, ‘Suddenly Last Summer’, which is as relevant today as it was when written over 60 years ago.

Directed by Shaun Rennie, ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ is vibrant, funny and beautiful, and takes the audience into the poetic world of redemption and love, shadowed by the dark secrets a family can hold.

Deep amongst the monstrous flytraps and ferns in Sebastian’s garden, tendrils of a sordid family secret are beginning to unfurl.

Sebastian Venable died mysteriously last summer, and his mother Violet will do anything in her power to protect his memory – and her own reputation. Young cousin Catharine was the only witness to this nightmarish event. She is desperate to reveal what really happened, but Violet will go to any lengths to stop the ugly truth from seeing the light of day.
