Night of the Iguana, by Tennessee Williams, is a drama set in a cheap Mexican resort hotel that attracts losers and low-lifes. The proprietress is a tough, rapacious, sex-starved widow. To the hotel come a neurotic, defrocked minister on the verge of a mental breakdown and a gentle, artistic, penniless spinster with her dying grandfather in tow. The rapport between the minister and the spinster (to the jealousy of the widow) creates a medium through which the Reverend Shannon and Miss Jelkes reveal the unquenchable spirit that transcends their misery, loneliness and despair and reveals their capacity for kindness, compassion, and small acts of nobility.
Performances will be June 8-9 and June 13-16, 2012.
Performances at Heberton Hall (Public Library Annex), 72 Winter St., Keene, NH
