A HOUSE NOT MEANT TO STAND
a “Gothic comedy” by Tennessee Williams
Fountain Theatre celebrates the centennial of Williams’s birth
with the West Coast premiere of his final play
WHAT: “A House Not Meant To Stand” The Fountain Theatre celebrates the centennial of Tennessee Williams’s birth with the presentation of his final play, never before seen on the West Coast. This turbo-charged tragicomedy about the blazingly dysfunctional McCorkle family—which Williams called a “Southern Gothic spook sonata”— is searing, savage and hilarious.
