Now, with his one-man show Talking Tennessee, Lawrence proves that Williams is not just a playwright he has kept close to his heart--he is a man Lawrence has learned to inhabit. . . . Thanks to Lawrence's meticulous performance, a portrait of theessential Williams emerges. We are moved not just by his studiously crafted view of the playwright, but by the sense that we are getting a glimpse at what was underneath his surface.
--Laura Weinert, Backstage West

[Mr. Lawrence] has become the festival's living embodiment of the playwright at ease, lascivious, and very funny, but still showing us the writer he couldn't help but be all his life.
