Eastenders Repertory Company presents And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens... Part of Series B of 100 Years of Sex-Acts. (written probably in 1957 and first produced in 2004) The Queen of the title is Candy Delaney, a transvestite gay interior designer living in the Vieux Carré of New Orleans. Suffering "the spectre of loneliness" - and after being recently deserted by his much older lover - Candy picks up rough trade in the Quarter and the play recounts his ill-fated attempt at a relationship. Candy's world is entirely peopled with gay men (her upstairs tenants are a 'pair of sweet boys from Alabama') and this play is remarkably courageous for Williams, especially considering the time period in which it was written.	Cast: Craig Souza as Candy Delaney Ross Pasquale as Karl Matthew Donohoe as Alvin Krenning Gene Mocsy as Jerry Johnson
