About the Play

ETC presents Tennessee Williams’ steamy and sensual Baby Doll,  based on the 1956 Golden Globe-winning film of the same name. Set in the Mississippi Delta, 19 year-old “Baby Doll” is stuck in the middle of a vicious competition between two rival cotton gin owners; Archie, her husband through arranged marriage, and Silva, a foreigner unwelcome in her community. After Silva suspects Archie of burning down his cotton gin, he sets his eyes on Baby Doll, hatching a plot to seduce the vulnerable young bride.

Crackling with Tennessee Williams’ trademark humor and sensitivity, Baby Doll is a “must-see spring production” says the Santa Barbara Independent.
