Suddenly Last Summer and Other Plays
Tennessee Williams
‘A writer of poetic symbolism, of mood and mystery … his
plays stain themselves into one’s heart’
The New York Times
These three dramatic works by Tennessee Williams explore the darker side of human nature and are haunted by
a sense of isolation and regret. ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ is the starkly told story of Catherine, who seemingly goes insane after her cousin Sebastian dies in grisly circumstances on a trip to Europe. ‘The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore’ is a passionate examination of a wealthy old woman as she recounts her memories in the face of death, while in ‘Small Craft Warning’ a motley group of people - including a blowsy beautician, a discredited alcoholic doctor, a vulnerable waif and two gay men - sit around a seedy bar on the Californian coast, each contemplating their own desperate fate.
