Shakespeare Downtown brings the gothic heat, poetic intensity, and sexual tension of Tennessee Williams’ controversial and rarely performed Tiger Tail. Geoffrey Horne directs Williams’ play about sexuality and power—based on Elia Kazan’s film Baby Doll—which itself was based on Williams’ one-act 27 Wagons Full of Cotton. In Tiger Tail, Archie Lee, a down-at-the-heels Mississippi cotton gin owner with a child bride, Baby Doll (Billie Andersson), crosses rival gin owner Silva Vacarro—the Sicilian who exacts his revenge by seducing the young bride.
