Product Description
The classic works of Tennessee Williams have earned him a reputation of one of the greatest American playrights of the 20th Century. Now BIOGRAPHY paints an in-depth portrait of the famed writer and the personal problems that both plagued his life and inspired his masterworks.
Williams first found sanctuary from his famously dysfunctional family by writing them as characters into his stories. Personal issues such as his constant need for companionship were manifested in his remarkably unique body of work, which was laden with controversial themes of sexuality. Yet even afer finding success with such hits as The Glass Menagerie, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Streetcar Named Desire, Williams began an irreversible downfall, spiraling into a substance-abusing depression.
Featuring interviews with Williams, his brother, biographers, and friends, this fascinating, comprehensive program sheds light on the life of a tormented genius.
