A drama of great tenderness, this timeless masterpiece has enthralled audiences for more than 60 years. In this, his first great play, Tennessee Williams etches some of the most memorable characters in American drama: Amanda, the faded remnant of Southern gentility desperately clinging to another time and place; her fragile, withdrawn daughter Laura, immersed in a world of old records and a collection of delicate glass figurines; and her poetic son Tom who, seeking adventure and meaning in his own life, attempts to arrange a “gentleman caller” for his sister. As the family’s illusions disintegrate, Williams reveals a beautifully honest, achingly comic, and startlingly modern play.
