Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson, Clare Higgins and Jenny Seagrove lead an all star cast in this new production of Tennessee Williams' masterpiece, The Night of the Iguana.
Mexico 1940 is the steamy setting in which an alcoholic defrocked priest, T. Lawrence Shannon, at odds with his sexual desires, arrives at a rundown coastal hotel owned by an earthy widow, Maxine Faulk. Also staying at the hotel is Charlotte, a nubile, brattish teenager with a ravenous sexual appetite and the spinsterish Hannah, a resilient woman painfully trying to reconcile herself to loss, loneliness and the bitter struggle she faces in looking after her ailing, elderly poet grandfather.
In this sea of sexual tension, each character struggles with their inner demons and questions of faith, sexuality, life purpose and duty.
