Play review - "Summer and Smoke" by Tennessee Williams (1948)

 Basically a two hander, quite touching, about a relationship between two neighbours who knew each other as children, Alma and John. Alma is a spinster and then John is a talented doctor. Originally he's a party boy, who drink drives and goes to casinos and she's all prim... then he gets respectable and she goes off the rails. Written with empathy. It feels like a work in progress but not bad.
