I think it can be adapted to the arena. Fabulous women's roles. Intense. We should definitely consider doing this.

Tennessee is always EPIC. Is this too much for us? Just trying to figure out the set is daunting. And all those Italians! What say all?
I think we can do it. We would have to get a good dialect coach, however. Great characters and a moving script that holds your attention throughout. I say yes!
I also think we can do it. I don't know if we should. I worry about the Italian and the dialects. If not done well by everyone, it would greatly detract from the production. I also question how well the story will resonate with our audiences. I would keep it in the mix for now.
I must agree with Howard. The Italian dialects and the frequent references to "Wops" is a big hurdle for me. I think other Tennessee Williams scripts would appeal more to our audiences.
I couldn't get into it which pains me since it has so many female roles.
Sultry. Good roles for females. Lots of breaking things - glass, marble, ceramic. Stu, intense is a good word. It was done before, 7th season. Accents can be taught. While other Tennessee William's plays might be better or more well known, sometimes it is good to do plays not everyone else does. My vote is yes.
