An independent production of Tennessee Williams’ famous play “Small Craft Warnings”, directed by Paz Griot, will take place on Saturday 25 March at Arsen Lupen (Taksim). The show kicks off at 18:30 with a suggested donation of 50 TL, with proceeds going to support the meaningful projects of Istanbul&I.
From the organizer:
Join us for a production of Tennessee Williams’ stellar play Small Craft Warnings. The majority of the proceeds will be donated to Istanbul&I, an NGO devoted to empowering the youth through volunteerism and social inclusion. The play is set in a small dive bar on the beach in Southern California in the early 1970s during a heavy fog and centers on nine complicated and captivating characters, including a beautician living in a trailer park, a gay teenage runaway biking from Iowa to Mexico, a seductress, an alcoholic doctor, and, of course, the convivial bartender. Through monologue and dialogue, this avant-garde play explores many pertinent and topical issues, including racism, homophobia, despondency, alcoholism, reproductive rights, sexuality, and poverty.
