The Night of the Iguana, known to many because of the film with Richard Burton and Ava Gardner, is about a defrocked Protestant minister who has been unable to stop his slide to ruin, a widowed owner of a cheap Mexican hotel and an ancient poet and his granddaughter--all at the end of their collective rope. They are surrounded by antagonists in the form of German tourists and Texas Baptist reformers. The play takes place in 1940: a continent away, London in falling to the Blitz. Tennessee Williams' angry compassion, if there is such a thing, comes through very strongly in this play. It's a doozer.
The lead roles are played by Doug Ryan, Christine Decker, Stephanie Moffat-Hynes and Rick Howe, all beloved company members, supported by six fine souls as the antagonists. Karen Koziol is designing the set, Sherry Recinellas is on costumes and we are on the edge of our seats to see what comes of it!
