An acute, lacerating, tender look at a family that has gone wrong

The Times

Time is the longest distance between two places.


A domineering mother. A daughter lost in a world of her own. A son desperate to leave. Former Southern Belle Amanda Wingfield, played by Tony Award-winning Broadway icon Cherry Jones, enlists the help of son Tom (Michael Esper) to find a husband for her fragile daughter Laura (Kate O’Flynn). But will the long-awaited ‘gentleman caller’ (Brian J. Smith) fulfil or shatter the family’s delicate dreams?

John Tiffany’s stunning production. Be prepared to have the breath knocked out of you

New York Times
