A portrayal of human relations, lies, the disintegration of a couple and how a family falls apart. A depiction of the problems we all have to face and how we tell the truth to those closest to us. “Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?,” says one of Tennessee Williams' characters.

This play is psychologically and emotionally exhausting for the actors involved, and lies much closer to the world of Williams than it is to Elia Kazan's film. And it is set ... in the fifties? In the present? Welcome to the hell of relationships and the jungle of the family!

Galaxy premiere of the production.

"Less than candid." (Walter Kerr, New York Herald Tribune)
"Mr. Williams is interested in something far more significant than one man's psycological makeup. He is interested in what may and may not be said about the truth as a motivating source in human life." (Roger Aston, New Republic)
"An special and compelling study of violence." (Marya Mannes, Reporter)
