"In these trying times we live in, all that we have to cling to is – each other ..."
When her troubled son finally invites a workmate round for dinner, an overbearing mother sees a potential suitor for her shy daughter, and salvation for them all ...
Amanda Wingfield (Brenda Blethyn) was the most popular girl in town with her pick of eligible bachelors – but she chose the wrong one. Now, years later, she is desperate for her two grown-up children to avoid her own mistakes. Dreaming of ways to improve the lot of a son who’s rarely home and a daughter who rarely isn’t, Amanda longs for a gentleman caller who can transform everything, in Tennessee Williams’ lyrical, tender and shattering masterpiece.
