Suddenly Last Summer [B-]

This is not one of Tennessee Williams best plays. In addition, of the three "stars", on Carla Gugino is terrific. Blythe Danner is only OK, and Gale Harold is pretty bad. The bit part players are all very good.

Still, fans of drama should go see it. First, as I said above Carla Gugino is terrific. It's worth going to the show just to see her. Second, I'll quote from a review at nytheatre.com: "... Suddenly Last Summer is a much-needed reminder that second-rate Williams is still better than first-rate work by most other playwrights."
