Michael Grandage's revival of Tennesse Williams' Suddenly Last Summer starring Victoria Hamilton and Diana Rigg (not 30 June to 2 July).

Sebastian died suddenly last summer. His mother clings to him in death as she clung to him in life. In the sultry heat of New Orleans she plans her act of revenge on the girl she believes stole Sebastian from her. Tennessee Williams is theatre’s poet of impossible love and this, one of his finest plays, is given a new production by Sheffield Theatres’ award-winning Associate Director, Michael Grandage.

"Poetically intense drama excellent... transfixing... voluptuous theatricality" The Guardian
