The Enemy: Time by Tennessee Williams Directed by Jef Hall-Flavin Produced in conjunction with
The Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival
This dynamite short play inspired Tennessee Williams to write Sweet Bird of Youth, later adapted into a 1962 award-winning film starring Paul Newman and Geraldine Paige. And while Sweet Bird is undoubtedly an American masterpiece, the seeds were first sown in his poetic, heartbreaking original, The Enemy: Time. Written in 1952, The Enemy: Time has never been performed until now. Be among the first to see this dramatic early version of a Williams classic.
The tightly compressed drama is a half-hour of distilled Tennessee Williams, and, like all Williams’ short plays, packs quite a wallop. A fading Hollywood ne’er-do-well, Phil Beam (played by Peter Christian Hansen in the role that became Newman’s "Chance Wayne"), falls victim to his past indiscretions in a fateful homecoming. The clock tick-tick-ticks away as a witness to his fading looks, crumbling lies and sexual corruption.
Join Gremlin Theatre as it celebrates this unprecedented opportunity to see a Tennessee Williams play for the first time. Each evening will fete Williams with a pre-show Southern Social featuring live music, treats and non-alcoholic beverages, and culminate with a special post-performance party at Jay’s Café around the corner where food and drink will be available to patrons.

“I met Lorenzo when I traveled to Guatemala and instantly fell in love with his artwork. This is also the primary means of income for the Cruz family, so I just wanted to help them out and share their beautiful culture with people here. My favorite thing about Guatemala was all the color, which you can get a feel of through these paintings.”

Lorenzo began painting at the age of 9 and first painted on canvas at 14. He began with 3 tubes of oil and a brush. At age 16 Lorenzo took very basic lessons in painting and was eager to get out and sell his work. However, in his first attempt no one purchased a single painting. Lorenzo returned home with tears in his eyes but his father encouraged him to keep trying. Lorenzo slowly worked into being a professional painter and only began to sell his work in 2000. Then, Lorenzo chose to study at a school of fine arts for one year and discovered his vocation as an indigenous artist with works based on the traditional culture of the Maya peoples known as Tz'utujil.
