This month NY sees the World Premiere of KIND STRANGER .. a memory play based on Tennessee Williams’ MEMOIRS. Adapted directly using the words and humor of one of the greatest American playwrights as the foundation, this is the latest project from Steven and Rick Simone-Friedland, a gay married couple. Written and adapted by Steven and conceived and performed by Emmy® Award-winner Rick Simone-Friedland, the play depicts the poignant journey of Tennessee Williams as the legendary playwright recounts his life, art, and love affairs. Witness his wit and unflinching honesty as he writes his last chapter, revealing how his plays were his life and his life was his plays.

(Plus as Rick confessed in this conversation with Queerguru, he had always wanted to play Blanche!)
