More about Suddenly Last Summer
A family united by grief, divided by truth.
Violet Venable is determined to protect the reputation of her late son Sebastian - but her niece Catharine has a different story about what happened last summer.
When Catharine’s memories are challenged, it falls to a young doctor to decide whose version of events to believe.
A haunting tale of family, trauma and competing truths, Suddenly Last Summer is one of Tennessee Williams’ most gripping plays.
Michael Grandage returns to the National Theatre after more than 15 years to direct Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Harriet Walter (The House of Bernarda Alba) in this rarely performed masterpiece.
For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.
