First published 1973
Felice and Clare, a brother-sister acting duo, are stranded in a remote theater after their troupe leaves them behind. With only each other and a half-written script, they scramble to piece together a performance. As the siblings' act grows increasingly unhinged, their act blurs with reality, and they must confront the dark secrets that drove them apart. In this experimental drama, Tennessee Williams crafts a haunting exploration of the fragility of the stage and the human psyche.
