Went great! My visiting daughter and son-in-law, along with my husband and myself read this after a family dinner. I’ll be pitching the idea of a play reading group to a retirement community in October. Wish me luck!

I did not get a group together to read “The Rose Tattoo,” but needed the script to write a review about a wonderful local production. It was very helpful to have Tennessee Williams’ exact words in hand. I love the (Sicilian) language and would not have wanted to misquote the characters. Thank you for making the script available.

Interesting play – read this in anticipation of a production being done in Brooklyn early next year.
Funny how three are mentions of local NYC area towns in this script – Jersey City, Plainfield, even Brooklyn – which I’m sure will get a laugh in production and seem like a modern insert rather than the original play.
As far as the play goes – it borders on the absurd; has it’s comical moments, mostly in the asides Sabrina gives to the audience when she totally shatters the fourth wall and reminds everyone this is a play…

George and eight others (Sandra, Carolyn, Eddie, Gary, Patti, Joyce, Audrey, Rick) laughed at Zona Gale’s domestic comedy in the Matthews, NC, home of Louise Hord on Tuesday evening, May 24. Louise couldn’t be there, but her surrogate was most hospitable. Much discussion regarding social mores kept us from finishing, but we had a most enjoyable time.
