Bus Stop
by William Inge
directed by Stefan Escreet, designed by Martin Johns
Friday 23 July - Wednesday 3 November,
Main House
A warm-hearted American romance set in a snowbound Kansas diner in the 1950s. When a disparate group of bus passengers are forced to spend the night together in Grace’s Diner, they each reveal how love touches their lives. Among them is Cherie, a night club singer, who is trying to get away from Bo Decker, a headstrong young cowboy who intends to marry her and take her back to Montana…
“There’s gonna be trouble. I kin feel it in my bones.”
A contemporary and friend of Tennessee Williams, Inge won a Pulitzer Prize for his play Picnic and eventually became known as the ‘Playwright of the Midwest’, while Bus Stopwas adapted into the 1956 film of the same name starring Marilyn Monroe.
