Expanded from a poem inspired by the dramas of Tennessee Williams, A Fly In Tennessee, tells the story of a seemingly perfect family when behind closed doors. 

​

From the perspective of a fly on the wall, the audience sees a family on the brink, choosing reputation over reality. Our narrator, The Fly, tells the story of the Gibson's through heightened verse. 

​

First workshopped at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center through the National Theatre Institute, A Fly In Tennessee confronts sexual assault, domestic abuse, and teenage suicide. It is a story about familial dynamics and the pressures of keeping face in a society demanding perfection.
