One of America’s greatest playwrights, and certainly the greatest ever from the South, Tennessee Williams wrote fiction and motion picture screenplays, but he is acclaimed primarily for his play—nearly all of which are set in the South, but which at their best rise above regionalism to approach universal themes. He won Pulitzer Prizes for A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof . Many believed that The Glass Menagerie deserved one as well. more |
