Small Craft Warnings by Tennessee Williams

Booze. Desire. Regret. Hope.
In a foggy seaside bar at the edge of nowhere, a ragtag band of drifters, dreamers, and beautiful messes drink, flirt, fight, and cling to one another as the storm rolls in. Everyone’s waiting for something—love, rescue, one last shot—and time is running out.
Small Craft Warnings is Tennessee Williams at his rawest, funniest, and most compassionate: a salty, storm-tossed portrait of desire, loneliness, and the fragile hope that keeps us afloat together.
Sharp, deeply human, and unexpectedly hilarious, this rarely produced gem crackles with biting humor, aching vulnerability, and Williams’s unmistakable poetry—and feels just as urgent today as when it first shocked audiences.
Presented in collaboration with the Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival.
