Rick and Steve Simone Bring Tennessee Williams to the Roundtable!
Description
Husbands Rick and Steve Simone join The Roundtable to share the story behind their compelling new theatrical adaptation, Kind Stranger, based on a lesser-known short work by Tennessee Williams. With a deep reverence for Williams’ lyrical style and emotional complexity, the Simones bring a fresh and resonant take to this haunting story of longing, vulnerability, and the search for connection. Their adaptation brings new urgency and intimacy to a piece that feels strikingly relevant in today’s world.
In this insightful and heartfelt conversation, we talk about the process of adapting a hidden gem from one of America's greatest playwrights, what it means to collaborate as life partners in art, and why Kind Stranger is a project they’ve poured their hearts into. Whether you're a theater lover, a Tennessee Williams aficionado, or just looking for a powerful new story to experience—this episode delivers.
