Suddenly Last Summer



I saw Suddenly Last Summer in New York City 12/9/06. The play was excellent! Here is a synopsis:

The play features Catherine Holly, a young woman who seems to go insane after her cousin Sebastian dies on a trip to Europe under mysterious circumstances. Sebastian's mother, Violet Venable, tries to cloud the truth about her son's homosexuality and his death, as she wants him to be remembered as a great artist. She threatens to lobotomize Catherine for her incoherent utterances relating to Sebastian's demise. Finally, under the influence of a truth serum, Catherine tells the gruesome story of Sebastian's death by cannibalism at the hand of local boys whose sexual favors he sought. Both his mother and later Catherine were only devices for him to attract the young men.

I took some pictures during my trip to NYC. I have a picture of the Empire State Building, Macy's and the Christmas tree that was decorated at the Lancaster, PA Amtrak station.
