AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this Southern gothic fantasia, writer Alana Valentine uses the life of famed American novelist Carson McCullers, author of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding, friend of Tennessee Williams and dinner companion of Marilyn Monroe, to weave a tale of individuality battling the constraints and prejudices of small town conservatism. Loosely biographical, the play follows Carson's journey through Southern freak shows, New York drag bars and Parisian cemeteries, as she explores her identity, creativity and sexuality.'
