About The Gentleman Caller
Two legends. One interview. Plenty of secrets. Before becoming icons of American theatre, Tennessee Williams and William Inge were just two aspiring playwrights sharing a night together, shut away from the world’s judgment. As the liquor flows and confessions begin to spill out, these men reveal sides of themselves the public never saw, in all their vulnerabilities, flaws, and triumphs.

Directed by Arturo Catricala

A beautiful play ... a stiff, intoxicating cocktail that knocks you flat on your back and leaves you there ... utter, tragic perfection.
Time Out Magazine
...laser-sharp punchlines that are rooted in character specifics.
