American Playwrights on Film

American Playwrights on Film

After the great success of ‘Tennessee Williams on Film’ Paul Loosley brings to klpac more of the hard-hitting American zeitgeist in a new series: ‘American Playwrights on Film’.

Without the long tradition of British theatre, the Americans turned to subjects they knew best; angst, stress and the pressure of living in a huge, bubbling melting pot of a society.

Many of those plays turned very ably into films that were just as angry, dark, sexy, confrontational and occasionally hilariously funny.

In this series we will get to see all these things and more; tears, temptations, bitterness and frustration; all larger than life and twice as much fun.
