The Traveling Companion and Other Plays

$17.95

Even with his great commercial success, Tennessee Williams always considered himself an experimentalist. In the last decades of his life he expanded his boundaries; his tone in these plays ranges from absurd and cartoonish to disturbing and outrageous. He even wrote what could be termed “happy endings,” while at other times he gazed straight into the abyss. Collected here for the first time, these twelve plays embrace what Time magazine called “the four major concerns of Williams’ dramatic imagination: loneliness, love, the violated heart and the valiancy of survival.”
