What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the collection of one-act plays. While many appreciate the chance to explore lesser-known works by Tennessee Williams, some find them to be somewhat scattered and lacking in coherence compared to his more famous pieces.
Thought-provoking and unique pieces Nice collection of lesser-known works Surprising elements throughout Some plays feel average Scattered and discordant dialogues
Synopsis
“The peak of my virtuosity was in the one-act plays—like firecrackers in a rope.”
—Tennessee Williams
This new collection of fantastic, lesser-known one-acts contains some of Williams’s most potent, comical and disturbing short plays
Upper East Side ladies dine out during the apocalypse in Now the Cats With Jeweled Claws, while the poet Hart Crane is confronted by his mother at the bottom of the ocean in Steps Must Be Gentle.
Five previously unpublished plays include A Recluse and His Guest, and The Strange Play, in which we witness a woman’s entire life lived within a twenty-four-hour span.
This volume is edited, with an introduction and notes, by the editor, acting teacher, and theater scholar Thomas Keith.
