Tennessee Williams

The Theatre of Tennessee Williams (Vieux Carre / A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur / Clothes for a Summer Hotel / the Red Devil Battery Sign)

The eighth volume of Tennessee Williams's collected plays - for the first time in paperback. Contains the following four plays:

? Vieux Carré: " Williams is completely in control here."?London Times

? A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur: "Collections should include this view of a lady who does not despair, in order to have the full picture of his prismatic Southern heroines."?Library Journal

? Clothes for a Summer Hotel: "A masterpiece utterly original, freshly imagined in style and substance."?Choice

? The Red Devil Battery Sign: "It is essential Williams."?English Studies

The Theatre of Tennessee Williams presents, in matching format, the plays of one of America's most consistently influential and innovative dramatists. Now available as a paperback, Volume VIII adds to the series four full-length plays written and produced during the last decade of Williams' life, including original cast listings and production notes.

The text used for each play was corrected and revised by the playwright in preparation for publication, or, in the case of the posthumously published Red Devil Battery Sign, makes use of his last known revision.
