Actor/writer JACOB STORMS is performing his award-winning one man play Tennessee Rising – The Dawn of Tennessee Williams at the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival as part of a Fall Tour. The play is set in the 1940’s when Williams was living in Provincetown furiously writing and falling in and out of love. Storms who bears more than a canny resemblance to the writer as a young man was directed by the Scottish actor/director Alan Cumming.

Queerguru caught up with STORMS who has such an infectious passion for this project,  and after talking with him about portraying one of the greatest queer writers of all time , we can tell the play is going to be one of the major hits at this years Festival.
