Eastenders Repertory Company presents A Perfect Analysis Given by a Parrot
Part of Series A of Eight by Tenn.

Likely written between 1948 and 1950, and first published in 1958, this raucous piece follows two conventioneer groupies, Flora and Bessie, on a jaunt in a St. Louis tavern. Williams had a penchant for recycling his own material in ever different permutations; the characters of Flora and Bessie and much of the dialogue from this piece reappear in Act One, Scene Five, of The Rose Tattoo.


Cast:
  • Suzan A Kendall as Bessie
  • Valerie Weak as Flora
  • Joseph Leonardi as the Waiter
  • Sons of Mars
    • Adam Chipkin
    • Kevin Furuta
