Filigree Theatre opens its sixth season, themed “Masks and Mirrors,” with a production of Tennessee Williams’ shocking drama Suddenly Last Summer. Taking place in 1930s New Orleans – a city beloved by the playwright and the setting of A Streetcar Named Desire and Vieux Carré – the story follows a troubled socialite named Catharine Holly. While traveling with her cousin Sebastian the year prior, Catharine had witnessed “terrible events” involving Sebastian, whose mother wants the story silenced at any cost. This moody opener for the season is followed by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in February. – Kat McNevins
