National Theatre at Home: Suddenly Last Summer

Overview

Violet Venable is determined to protect the reputation of her late son Sebastian – but her niece Catharine has a different story about what happened last summer. When Catharine's memories are challenged, it falls to a young doctor to decide whose version of events to believe. A haunting tale of family, trauma and competing truths, Suddenly Last Summer is one of Tennessee Williams' most gripping plays. Michael Grandage returns to the National Theatre after more than 15 years to direct Emma Corrin and Harriet Walter in this rarely performed masterpiece. This stage play was performed live at the Olivier Theatre, National Theatre in London, UK.
