In a unique theatrical event, Defibrillator Theatre Company take over three suites across three floors of the Grange Holborn Hotel in central London to perform three previously unseen Tennessee Williams' plays – Green Eyes, The Travelling Companion and Sunburst.
Across the space of one evening the audience journey from the hotel lobby to three suites to see the British premières of plays by one of America's greatest playwrights Tennessee Williams.
Williams spent much of his later life living in hotel rooms, and as a consequence set many of his plays in hotels and boarding houses. The Hotel Plays offers the audience the opportunity to experience these works in the habitat they derived from – Williams, up close and personal.

Cast: Clare Latham (Girl), Matt Milne (Boy)
