In these plays, as in many of his later works, Williams explores the intense passions and frustrations of a disturbed and frequently brutal society. Unable to write openly about his homosexuality in the 1950s and 60s, he displaced the imagined and experienced pleasures and pains of sexual relations from the autobiographical into nominally heterosexual dramas. An eloquently symbolic poet of the theater, Williams is noted for his scenes of high dramatic tension and for his brilliant, often lyrical dialogue. Williams is perhaps most successful in his portraits of the hypersensitive and lonely Southern woman, such as Blanche in

Tennessee Williams spent the most productive years of his life in the small coastal town Provincetown, Massachusetts. From 1940 until 1947, he found himself artistically, acted boldly on his sexuality, and fell unguardedly in love for the first, and perhaps only time. Writing in Provincetown, sometimes on a wharf in the bay, sometimes in a shack on the dunes, Williams crafted his masterpieces "The Glass Menagerie" and "Streetcar Named Desire" - along with jewel-like poetry, short stories, one-act and other full-length plays. The 2008 Festival will focus on the playwright's healing vision of love. Join a diverse group of people as we celebrate the work, life and legacy of America 's great playwright.

Tennessee Williams and Pancho Rodriquez. New Orleans, 1946. Photo credit: Photographer Unknown, Courtesy of Virgina Spencer Carr O The Kitchen Sisters , asked chief curator, Donald McCormick what treasures were hidden in their collection. A home recording of Angela Lansbury's audition with Jerry Herman for the role of Mame was high on Mr. McCormick's list. But at the top was a series of donated discs that have never been heard by the public - made by writer Tennessee Williams at a Penny Arcade in New Orleans in 1947 or 1948. Nobody is quite sure which year it is. The Kitchen Sisters were as taken with the cardboard recordings as McCormick. And went on a quest to bring them to air. They traced the broadcast rights to a lawyer in London, who led them to The University of the South at Sewanee and then to the doorsteps of writer Donald Windham. He and Sandy Campbell, old friends of Tennessee Williams, had found the discs in a trunk of his things left behind from all the years he had come and gone from their apartment. The trail led them to the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival in New Orleans, where Williams lived during the time these cardboards were cut. The weekend of May 28th marks the 51st anniversary of the last run of one of New Orleans most legendary streetcars, the one that ran by Tennessee's door as he worked on a play called "The Poker Night" - a play he came to call "A Streetcar Named Desire".

SEARCH: The Tennessee Williams Welcome Center is the first home of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Tennessee Williams. Tennessee Williams made history with well-known plays such as A Streetcar Named Desire Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Glass Menagerie In 1993, that home was in danger of being torn down to make room for a church expansion. In an effort to preserve this historic literary landmark, the yellow and blue gingerbread home was loaded onto flatbed trailers and taken to Main Street. Once there, the home was restored and just three months after opening, Tennessee Williams was honored with a U.S. postage stamp and a public ceremony was held there. The home was also recently honored with the designation of a National Literary Landmark and it now serves as the official Welcome Center for Columbus.

Authors Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation: Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) Index Tennessee Williams, a native of Mississippi, was one of the more complex individuals on the American literary scene of the mid- 20th century. His work focused on disturbed emotions and unresolved sexuality within families most of them southern. He was known for incantatory repetitions, a poetic southern diction, weird Gothic settings, and Freudian exploration of sexual desire. One of the first American writers to live openly as a homosexual, Williams explained that the sexuality of his tormented characters expressed their loneliness. His characters live and suffer intensely. Williams wrote more than 20 full-length dramas, many of them autobiographical. He reached his peak relatively early in his career in the 1940s with The Glass Menagerie (1944) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1947). None of the works that followed over the next two decades and more reached the level of success and richness of those two pieces.

J ens B in English Online Archive A B R eader Home Site Map T he F orests B ehind T he N ight of the I guana Jens Bjørneboe, "Skogene bak Iguana-natten." Originally published in Dagbladet , 1962. In Om Teater (Oslo: Gyldendal, 1977). Samlede Essays: Teater Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Tennessee Williams achieved one of his great popular successes with The Glass Menagerie . He later commented on the event in an essay, "The Catastrophe of Success." It is of course possible that a man who stands completely alone can lose heart and give in. But if that is the case, the genuflexion has only been a temporary breakdown for Williams: His real answer to the smear campaign was the play The Night of the Iguana, which is currently playing at the National Theater under the Norwegian title "Iguana-natten." What does this answer sound like? Orpheus Descending and Suddenly Last Summer. The Night of the Iguana Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is likewise part of the forest which surrounds The Night of the Iguana In his writing, in his eternal defense of those who think differently, who have different ways of being, Tennessee Williams represents a far higher morality, a far higher and more developed humanity, than do those who accuse him of immorality and lack of faith in humanity.

TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (1911-1983) "The Rose Tattoo (A Play in Three Parts)." Carbon typescript signed, dated New York, October, 1950, 140 pages. "The Rose Tattoo" opened on Broadway in February 1951 and ran for 300 performances. Set in a Sicilian community on the gulf coast, the play reflects Williams' admiration of the warmth and lustiness of the Italian people. This fourth draft is inscribed by the playwright on the title page, "My Copy of script used during rehearsals and Chicago try-out." There are holograph corrections and annotations throughout the playscript in Williams' and an unknown hand. The text of this playscript differs significantly from the published version (New York: New Directions, 1951). The typescript forms a part of a collection of manuscripts, correspondence and books by and about Tennessee Williams formed by Norman Unger and now in the University of Delaware Library. Nearly 300 volumes and over 1,500 pages of manuscript material document Williams' stage and screen careers, as well as his international influence and reputation.
