A Seattle Weekly Pick of the Week! The Tennessee Tease took over Theatre Off Jackson for three hot August nights of burlesque inspired by the works of Tennessee Williams. Produced by Fosse Jack and Sailor St. Claire in association with Theatre Off Jackson, The Tennessee Tease brought together Williams’ plays, memoirs, and original burlesque to explore the life and works of this gay American icon. This original burlesque play was written and choreographed by Fosse Jack, and directed by Sailor St. Claire, with lighting design by Emily Leong.
As Tennessee Williams crafts his memoirs, a cast of talented actors and burlesque artists bring to life Williams’ iconic characters alongside his family members, dearest friends, and lovers. Fact and fiction collide as Tenn imagines his life in letters, illuminated through the art of the tease. The Tennessee Tease featured Olatsa Assassin, Jesus La Pinga, Jesse Belle-Jones, Hisam Goueli, Diva le Deviant, Apollo Vidra, Belle Bizarre, Al Lykya, Razzberry Rocket, Fosse Jack, Sailor St. Claire and local burlesque legend Eartha Quake.
