a note from ARTISTIC DIRECTOR


By Tennessee Williams Directed by Trip Cullman


Academy Award® winner Marisa Tomei


unleashes a tour de force as Serafina, a widow who rekindles her desire for love, lust and life in the arms of a fiery suitor. Sharply directed by Trip Cullman (Significant Other), this Tennessee Williams gem sizzles with humor and heart.


There are few writers as legendary as Tennessee Williams, and few characters as iconic as the women who lead his plays. The Rose Tattoo’s Serafina Delle Rose stands as one of the greatest heroines from one of the world’s greatest dramatists. The Rose Tattoo also marks Roundabout’s ninth Williams production, squarely aligning with Roundabout’s mission to bring to new light the traditionally underappreciated works of the canon’s greatest writers.


Todd Haimes Winner of the 1951 Tony Award® for Best Play, The Rose Tattoo brims with


Williams’s characteristic poetry and passion, mining the depths of Serafina’s grief and healing in the wake of her husband’s death. This play, like all of Williams’s classics, contains multitudes. Heartbreaking, and yet unexpectedly comedic, The Rose Tattoo juxtaposes loss with desire, desire with faith, faith with loss. The result is a mesmerizing whirlwind of tragedy and comedy unlike anything else in Williams’ oeuvre.
