The Pretty Trap

Before Tennessee Williams wrote one of his masterpieces, The Glass Menagerie, he wrote a one-act version called The Pretty Trap. Cause Célèbre will present the New York Premiere of this gem of a play directed by Antony Marsellis (Love Divided By, The Love Course). Katharine Houghton, who brought her fiancé, Sidney Poitier, home in Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, is seated at a very different kind of dinner and plays one of Williams’ quintessential female roles, Amanda Wingfield, the mother in The Glass Menagerie. The other characters are the same–Laura, Tom and the gentleman caller. But the tone is lighter and the ending is completely unexpected. Don’t miss out on this engaging evening in a very limited engagement.
