Pity for the Wild: Three Grotesques, written by Tennessee Williams and directed here at the University of Florida by Tiza Garland and Dr. Ralf Remshardt.

He did lack on showcasing the future in The Chalky White Substance and did take advantage of the backdrop. Furthermore, the directors casted very well trained actors, especially Grace Abele. She made The Gnädiges Fräulein worth watching and had you wondering what her next move was. The production was very entertaining and a joy to
