One Arm Better Than Two

Did I mention I love the writings of Tennessee Williams? This particular piece was written where else, Mexico City. Sniffle, must go back...

Tennessee Williams'
One Arm

adapted for the stage and directed by Moisés Kaufman
A presentation of Steppenwolf Theatre Company, About Face Theatre and Tectonic Theater Project

WORLD PREMIERE EVENT – 3 WEEKS ONLY!

Tennessee Williams’ unproduced screenplay is strikingly re-imagined for the stage by Moisés Kaufman, the acclaimed director of the Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning I Am My Own Wife and the international phenomenon The Laramie Project. Ollie, a military boxer whose limb is lost in a car accident, turns to a life of hustling in Williams’s revealing and personal tale that was never allowed to be produced in his lifetime. Bear witness to the daring poetry of Williams and the bold theatrical vision of Kaufman as they transport the audience from the streets of New Orleans to a yacht in the Florida Keys to a harsh prison in the Midwest. One Arm will startle, seduce and fascinate as it journeys through the erotic fever dream of a fallen boxer.

featuring Marilyn Bielby, Josh Bywater, Jason Denuszek, Steve Key, Sandra Marquez, John McAdams, David Parkes, Reynaldo Rosales, Kelli Simpkins, Michael Stahl-David, Joe Van Slyke, Eltony Williams and Shané Williams
