‘Orpheus Descending’ nears Mississippi premiere
Tennessee Williams once said, “Home is where you hang your childhood. For me, that is Mississippi.”
On Feb. 23-25, one of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright’s works is coming home. Not only to Mississippi, but to the town of Williams’ birth, in 1911. Columbus is the opening host city for a state tour of “Orpheus Descending.”
Williams’ play to open Mississippi tour in Columbus
As the birthplace of Tennessee Williams, it is appropriate that Columbus has been selected as the first of three cities in Mississippi to host the renowned writer’s powerful play, “Orpheus Descending,” Feb. 23-25. The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival in Massachusetts and Infinite Theatre Co. of New York have teamed to bring the production to the playwright’s home state.
