Summer and Smoke June 18, 2008

Summer and Smoke - Tennessee Williams' sensuous portrait of sexual repression is as sultry as the sweltering heat of its Mississippi setting. Alma Winemiller, the sheltered daughter of a minister, secretly harbors a lifelong love for the boy next door, Dr. John Buchanan. Alma seeks a spiritual love with just one man, but the rakish John is focused solely on sexual conquest. Their intense relationship degenerates into a battle for his body and her soul. All performances are recorded to air on LATW's nationally-syndicated radio theater series, The Play's The Thing, which broadcasts weekly on public and satellite radio.
