Never before seen outside the US, Spring Storm will mark the European Premiere of Tennessee Williams' tragic drama that prefigures his later works, Streetcar Named Desire and A Glass Menagerie. Eugene O'Neill's first full length play, Beyond the Horizon won the Pulitzer Prize for drama when he was only 32 and marks the author's first major success as a playwright. Both are part of the Young America Season at Royal & Derngate, Northampton which opens on October 9th and follows the critically acclaimed Ayckbourn at 70 Season this summer.
Laurie Sansom, Artistic Director of the Royal & Derngate, directs the season. The young cast includes Liz White, whose TV roles include Life on Mars and Mike Leigh's film Vera Drake, Michael Mullarkey who graduated from LAMDA in 2008 and will be making his professional debut and Michael Thomson whose theatre work includes Cameron in J. M. Barrie's Mary Rose (Nottingham Playhouse) and Toby Cole in David Hare's Amy's View (Salisbury Playhouse).
