The Influence of Tennessee Williams : Essays on Fifteen American Playwrights Paperback / softback
Edited by Philip C. Kolin
Paperback / softback
Description
The author of ""A Streetcar Named Desire"" and ""Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"" was never shy about drawing on his personal and family drama for stage material.
This collection of 15 essays examines how Williams' confessional style influenced a diverse range of playwrights, both contemporaries and those writing for modern theater.
Critical comparisons to William Inge, Edward Albee, David Mamet, Tony Kushner, Suzan Lori-Parks and others reveal this effect, with a special study of African-American theater.
This title features an original interview with Albee on instances where Williams specifically influenced his works.
