Spooky Action gives the rarely staged 'Two-Character Play' another turn in the spotlight

"The Two-Character Play" is a modest title for Tennessee Williams's 1975 psychodrama about a brother and sister locked in mortal combat with familiar Williams demons: debilitating fear, sordid family history, a pills-and-liquor habit and flamboyant theatrics. Williams called the work "Out Cry" during an initial version in 1967, and that was more accurate. The characters here certainly do cry out.
