Críticas
Williams was always confronting the future; a shaman with a typewriter, he dug into the darkest depths of the American psyche in search of dramatic truths.--Randy Gener
Within his early one-acts there are intriguing prototypes of characters and seeds of ideas Williams developed more fully in his later, larger dramas.
Just as young painters make their stabs at impressionism and cubism, in his early one-acts Williams tried his hand with political satire, expressionism, social realism, and even drawing-room comedy.--Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson
Reading these plays of the very young Tennessee, then of the successful Tennessee Williams, and finally of the troubled man of the 1970s he had become, we are offered a panoramic yet detailed view of the themes, the demons, and the wit of this iconic playwright.--Terrence McNally, from his foreword
The peak of my virtuosity was in the one-act plays. Some of which are like firecrackers in a rope.--Tennessee Williams in a 1950 letter to Elia Kazan
Reseña del editor
Here are portraits of American life during the Great Depression and after, populated by a hopelessly hopeful chorus girl, a munitions manufacturer ensnared in a love triangle, a rural family that deals “justice” on its children, an overconfident mob dandy, a poor couple who quarrel to vanquish despair, a young “spinster” enthralled by the impulse of rebellion, and, in “The Magic Tower,” a passionate artist and his wife whose youth and optimism are not enough to protect their “dream marriage.” This new volume gathers some of Williams’s most exuberant early work and includes one-acts that he would later expand to powerful full-length dramas: “The Pretty Trap,” a cheerful take on The Glass Menagerie, and “Interior: Panic,” a stunning precursor to A Streetcar Named Desire.
The plays include:
· At Liberty
· The Magic Tower
· Me, Vashya
· Curtains for the Gentleman
· In Our Profession
· Every Twenty Minutes
· Honor the Living
· The Case of the Crushed Petunias
· Moony’s Kid Don’t Cry
· The Dark Room
· The Pretty Trap
· Interior: Panic
· Kingdom of Earth
· I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays
· Some Problems for The Moose Lodge
