The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

By

Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams' rarely performed The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, an extraordinary play set on an exclusive mountaintop villa off the Amalfi coast premiered in Spoleto, Italy in 1962. It has often been referred to as a play worthy of its author's justly celebrated name. Stage, TV and film star Linda Marlowe (Who appeared in Harold and Maude and the Tennessee Williams' In The Bar of a Tokyo Hotel at the Charing Cross Theatre) plays Flora Goforth, a rich, terminally ill tour-time widow refusing to accept her own mortality, sitting in isolated splendour. Between shots of morphine and pills downed with brandy, she dictates her memoirs. Joining her is a cast which includes acclaimed actress Sara Kestelman in the role of the Witch of Capri.

This is a strictly limited engagement of 32 performances.

Directed by Robert Chevara

with Joe Ferrera, Matteo Johnson, Sanee Raval and Lucie Shorthouse.

A MIRRORED MONET

The man behind the masterpiece.

Paris, 1916. The painter Claude Monet struggles to complete the commission that will define his legacy: The Water Lilies — a project on which his survival depends, with food and essential supplies at stake as the First World War encroaches. Plagued by creative block, he retreats into memory, revisiting his early artist days with contemporaries Renoir and Manet, and his muse, Camille Doncieux.

Inspired by letters and diaries from Monet and his peers, A Mirrored Monet immerses audiences in the cafés, studios, and salons of Belle Époque Paris, with music and projections bringing the era vividly to life.

This dramatic new musical by composer/lyricist/dramatist Carmel Owen stars Jeff Shankley (Starlight Express, Cats) as Monet and Dean John-Wilson (Your Lie in April: The Musical, The King and I) as Young Monet.
