| | Summer and Smoke @ Apollo Theatre, London : theatre review |
 | | The effort has been rewarded with a beautiful piece of theatre - although one cannot help but feel that the overall result is to make a hurricane of a light breeze. |
 | | The play, set in rural Mississippi, centres on Alma (Pike), a spinster whose father is a reverend, and the boy she adored as a child, John Buchanan (Chris Carmack), who has returned a doctor, and a playboy, from urbane Boston, Massachusetts. |
 | | Williams, as you would expect, gives us character, dialogue and sexual tension to die for, and hearing his words on stage like this, in a seldom revived play, is like discovering a Beatles album you didn't know existed. |
