Actors Theatre of San Francisco Presents
Tennessee Williams’ The Rose Tattoo
Directed by Christian Phillips & Jennifer Welch

March 2 - April 21, 2007

The Actors Theatre of San Francisco presents The Rose Tattoo by Pulitzer Prize winning dramatist, Tennessee Williams. Known as his “love play to the world,” the plot revolves around the reignited passion of a Sicilian seamstress named Serafina, whose love, grief, and anger know no bounds. Serafina retreats to the safe haven of memories after the death of her husband, but when these memories are shattered by a horrible truth, the widow finds comfort in a truck driver who reminds her of her lost love. Living in a small immigrant town on the coast, Serafina struggles to come to terms with her own awakening desire, as well as that of her 15-year-old daughter, whom she can no longer shelter from the perils of love.

This ATSF production will feature a memorable ensemble of actors, including Maggie de Vera as Serafina, Edward Donlin as Mangiacavallo, Jessica Coghill as Rosa and Duncan Phillips as Jack. Additional cast members include James Baldock, Giancarlo Campagna, Monica Chavez, Sam Gabel, Malinda Hackett, Maria Judson, John Krause, Lisa Lennox, Irma Oliva-Ainsa, Concetta Sava-Cerny, Antonella Soldaini, and Phaedra Starr.
