This is what the critic say:

"Director Josh Chenard has managed to release the poetry of Tennessee Williams ... Suddenly, Last Summer should be high on your must see list." --- John Porter, WCVE Radio

"Powerful ... RTP has done a good job here.  Lorri Lindberg's performance balances viciousness and refinement, like a switchblade at an elegant table setting."     
       -- Rich Griset, Style Weekly 

"A disturbingly wild ride ... with tension, emotion and mystery!"   -- Lauren Grant, RVANews.com

"A definite artistic and technical thumbs-up ... This play is classic Tennessee Williams, evoking the eerie, spooky ambience of New Orleans."                              -- Matthew K Miller, GayRVA.com 

"RTP's production has a pair of fine actresses in the pivotal roles. Lorri Lindberg is powerful as the ruthless Violet .. Lauren Marie Hafner embodies Catherine's sensuality, confusion, and fear ..."                        
                     -- Susan Haubenstock, Richmond Times-Dispatch 

Set in the overpowering tropical conservatory in a mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans, Suddenly, Last Summer is a landmark work by one of America's greatest playwrights, and a battle of wills between two of Williams' most memorable female characters.
