The rarely produced, little-known Candles, Tennessee Williams's first full-length drama, sputtered to life in 1937 when the playwright was still in college and struggling to find his voice. Equal doses socialist agitprop and smoldering soaper, it casts the collapse of the Pilcher family against the misfortunes of an Alabama mining-camp community fomenting a strike during the Great Depression. Eclipse makes the most of the budding playwright's first brush strokes, mining its own ensemble (including Rebecca Prescott and Sorin Brouwers as a castoff daughter and a union organizer) to stoke the rising tension on Kevin Hagan's claustrophobic wood plank–cabin set.—Craig Keller
