The Night of the Iguana
by Tennessee Williams 

Pictured left to right: Susan O'Bryrne, Jeff Gamlin and Lisa Marcanio

In this powerful drama by the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning plays "A Streetcar Named Desire," and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Reverend Shannon, having been relieved of his cloth for sexual misconduct, has landed at the Costa Verde Hotel, near Acapulco, on the verge of a mental breakdown. The owner, an old friend, is prepared to offer him a bed and someone to share it with. The arrival of Miss Hannah Jelkes, a sad, fortyish lady who travels the world painting quick portraits, complicates things even further, as there is a strange and immediate rapport between the discredited cleric and the lonely artist, and Rev. Shannon begins to feel the heat of temptation closing in on every side...

"...Tennessee Williams at the top of his form." - The New York Times

"The writing is exceptional, the storyline interesting, the ending thought-provoking.  It’s not an easy show to do, but Spotlight Theater has done a good job of it." - Amy Royle, Waiting for Sondheim

"Directors Jane Cox and Michael Fisher have assembled a strong cast with some great acting chops to take on a truly classic script.  It’s a good chance to examine why we love Tennessee Williams and just how amazing a writer he was.  It’s worth the drive down to University Park to see." - Amy Royle, Waiting for Sondheim.
