NY International Fringe Festival: Elysian Fields August 28, 2011

Their plots are set in motion by the mysterious, violent deaths of three men who, until now, were never given the chance to tell their stories in Tennessee Williams' ''A Streetcar Named Desire', 'Suddenly Last Summer' and 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' - three classic plays. 'Elysian Fields' pulls back the curtain that was drawn on Allan Grey, the shy young man only beginning to grasp the desires inside himself; Sebastian Venable, the doomed aesthete unable to escape his horrific past; and Skipper, the football hero who refuses to give up fighting for the love of his cowardly best friend, even in the face of a formidable rival. As all three collide with the people around them and the demons that haunt them, we witness firsthand the events that sent them hurtling towards their ultimate fates.
