NEW YORK PREMIERE THE GENTLEMAN CALLER a new play by PHILIP DAWKINS directed by TONY SPECIALE starring DANIEL K. ISAAC (Showtime’s “Billions”) as William Inge and JUAN FRANCISCO VILLA (Oedipus El Rey) as Tennessee Williams Although now regarded as two of history’s finest American playwrights, back in 1944, William Inge and Tennessee Williams hadn’t yet experienced anything close to success. The Gentleman Caller, a new play by Philip Dawkins (Charm, Le Switch, The Homosexuals), takes us back in time before the Chicago premiere of The Glass Menagerie. Inge, a dissatisfied newspaper critic, invites Williams to his St. Louis apartment for an interview. This sexy, fraught rendezvous sparks a relationship, which radically alters the course of their lives and the American Theatre.
