About the author

Tennessee Williams

America's poet of the theater, Williams created plays of lyrical intensity exploring desire, memory, and the devastation of sensitive souls by a brutal world. His Southern Gothic vision defined a style and mood unique in American drama. A Streetcar Named Desire and The Glass Menagerie are among the century's finest plays.
