\n\n Following his 2011 staging of “A Streetcar Named Desire” for the Comedie Francaise in Paris\, writer/director Lee Bre uer\, a founding co-artistic director of the New York-based experimental t heater company Mabou Mines\, goes the next step in his investigation of th e work of Tennessee Williams. Following the French “guignol” tradition of taking realism to the breaking point of horror and hilarity\, “Glass Guign ol: The Brother and Sister Play” is an exploration/excavation of the multi -faceted fictional refractions arising from the writer's erotic\, voyeuris tic relationship with his sister\, Rose Williams. This production uses “Th e Two-Character Play” as a frame\, and constructs 'the play within the pla y' with texts from other Williams works\, including “Out Cry\,” “The Glass Menagerie\,” “A Cavalier for Milady\,” and “Suddenly\, Last Summer.” The first Connecticut performance of “Glass Guignol: The Brother and Sister Pl ay” will feature Obie Award-winners Maude Mitchell and Greg Mehrten\, as w ell as Jessica Weinstein '02 and Eamonn Farrell from Anonymous Ensemble\, and Luly Santangelo. “Glass Guignol” is a Mabou Mines masterclass workshop production.
