The famous New York theatre collective The Wooster Group is back at the Holland Festival with their production of Tennessee Williams’ Vieux Carré. In a shabby rooming house where you can hear the loneliness “like an awful groaning in the walls”, a young writer struggles with his literary ambition, homosexuality, poverty and despair. Through him we get to know his fellow occupants, characters typical for Williams, barely surviving on the fringes of society, downtrodden by disease, decay and broken dreams. Williams wrote the first version of this strongly autobiographical work in the late thirties, but only finished it in 1977. With imaginative use of video, sound design and staging technology, The Wooster Group deftly translates the play to the 21st century.
