* Something Cloudy, Something Clear. Tennessee Williams' last play. Fr/Sa/Su/Th -2001.05.27 18+ $15-25 Th-Sa 7:30p, Su 2:30p.
Something Cloudy, Something Clear is a rarely seen work by Tennessee Williams - it was the last play of his to open in NYC during his lifetime. Set on the beach of Provincetown in 1940, SCSC follows a day in the life of young writer - clearly a stand in for Williams - and his love for a beautiful Canadian dancer, Kip Kiernan. Written with both the innocence of youth and the wisdom and regret of old age, SCSC is a beautiful portrait of the artist as an old man.
