Christmas Eve in High Point, 1958. George takes his new bride to meet friend and fellow soldier, Ralph Bates, for the holiday celebrations.
As snow settles outside, the idyllic Christmas scene begins to dissolve. While past hopes and dreams are recounted, the bittersweet reality of their marital relationships surface with comical and poignant results.
Williams' Period of Adjustment has not been seen in London for 40 years. His many other plays include A Streetcar Named Desire (for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Glass Menagerie and Suddenly Last Summer.
Associate Director Howard Davies returns, having directed The House of Bernada Alba, Mourning Becomes Electra and The President of an Empty Room at the National Theatre.
