A coked-out whore. Her three desperate visitors. Xmas Eve. St. Louis. 1937. These four characters first appeared in Tennessee Williams' second play THE FUGITIVE KIND in 1937. Since there are 30 parts in that play, there isn't much character information. This play, instead, pays homage to the style, poetic voice and thematic concerns of the 26 year old Williams. It is not dependent on familiarity with the earlier play. This marks Besecker's fourth production at the Fringe. His THE WAY LIGHT STRIKES FILLED MASON JARS (a play about Didion, Plath and McCullers) won Best of Fringe in 2002. Directed by Janet O'Hair with Maggie Grant, Jake Limbert, Lee Corbett, and Matt Socha.
