Summer and Smoke

Details

In a small town in the heat of summer, Alma Winemiller, the minister's daughter, meets John Buchanan, the reckless and intoxicating doctor next door.

As summer deepens and their longing for one another intensifies, desire, duty, and convention collide, dangerously blurring the line between passion and ruin.

Blistering, poetic, and rapturous, this rarely-staged 20th-century masterpiece is Tennessee Williams at his most heart-rending.
