Description
The historic, all-black revival of Tennessee Williams’s 1955 classic is a bona fide revelation. The A-list actors—Anika Noni Rose, Terrence Howard, James Earl Jones and Phylicia Rashad—fully inhabit the steamy, sexually repressed Southern milieu as if the parts were tailor-made for them. Film-star Howard is the weak link, but even his slack pace and lack of stage experience are ameliorated by passion and natural charisma. Director Debbie Allen’s production is a bit ham-fisted in the tacky sets and lights, but the superb cast is the reason to see it. It’s a masterpiece in which lying is a major theme, and we won’t see a truer version for a long time.—DC

  Great performances and surprisingly humorous. I don't think that was Tennessee Williams intention but it seems to work for the audience.
