New Repertory Theatre 2007

New Repertory Theatre
Watertown, Massachusetts
September-October 2007

Director: Rick Lombardo
Scenery: Janie Howland
Costumes: Frances McSherry
Lighting: John Malinowski
Sound: Haddon Kime













Possessed herself by her fantasies of the lost past, Blanche takes over every corner of her sister Stella's tiny, grimy New Orleans flat with her tattered finery and paper lanterns [...] a set...dingily realistic in its details, dreamily abstract in its structure - and underscored by Haddon Kime's mournful streetcar moans and saxophone wails...

upstairs neighbors Steve and Eunice Hubbell and Luis Negron as poker buddy Pablo not only milk every bit of comedy possible out of Williams’ dark script, but also help director Rick Lombardo create the seedy atmosphere of the bad side of New Orleans’ French Quarter [...] perfectly squalid set and John Malinowski’s film noir lighting (although the red-lit background at the top of the show seems cliche, particularly when mixed with bluesy music)...
