Bangor English Drama Society presents Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams
13th - 14th November in Pontio's Bryn Terfel Theatre

Students from the School of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics are involved in this production of Tennessee Williams' famous one-act tragedy from 1958. The cast includes Mike Burrows, Jess Simms, Jack Robinson, Jamie King, and has been directed by Alma Nordstrand and Peter Jones, with lights and sound by Emily Jarvis.

Suddenly Last Summer tells the story of Catherine Holly (Hannah Grimston) a glamorous 1950s socialite who has been left mentally disturbed after a high-class summer holiday turned violent. She is now in a New Orleans psychiatric facility and under the care of the enigmatic Doctor Sugar (Mike Burrows).

Even if it means forcing Catherine into brain surgery, to stop her telling the story of what really happened on the beaches of France, suddenly last summer...

This student show promises to be a sinister, shocking and hugely entertaining night of theatre, right in the centre of Bangor. Tickets are available from the Pontio Box Office and official website at
