‎Typescript: The Rose Tattoo A Play in Three Parts‎

‎1950. Softcover. Near Fine. Carbon typescript. Quarto. 75pp. but missing final two pages. Sheets bradbound in the blue "Liebling-Wood" folder of Williams's agent Audrey Wood. The light blue wrappers a bit worn with a couple tears and the original brads replaced very good plus. It's labeled "Third draft Europe September 1950" on the first sheet along with a pencil notation that reads "not final draft." This copy also includes the epigraph from the poem "Anabasis" on the first sheet that was used intermittently by Williams throughout his many draft. The Rose Tattoo is Williams's first full-length comedy which he called his "love-play to the world." It concerns a Sicilian widow from the Gulf Coast and her attempts to protect her attractive young daughter while dealing with her own renewed passions. This draft was completed after learning that Elia Kazan had passed on directing the play to do a film with Arthur Miller a snub that greatly disheartened Williams. Nevertheless the play which debuted on Broadway in early 1951 won the Tony Awards for best play as well as best actor and best actress awards for Eli Wallach and Maureen Stapleton. A 1955 film version was also a success starring Burt Lancaster and Anna Magnani who was won the Oscar for best actress. unknown books‎

‎Signed Playbill from the premier performance of "Clothes for a Summer Hotel‎

‎New York 1980. pamphlet. Exceedingly rare signed Playbill for the premier performance of "Clothes for a Summer Hotel" at The Cort Theatre March 26 1980 which also happened to be Williams 69th birthday. Near fine condition.<br/><br/> The play was about the relationship between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. A critical and commercial failure it was Williams' last play to debut on Broadway during his lifetime and closed after 14 performances. Williams has signed in full on the cast page directly beneath the show's title as has its star Geraldine Page. According to The New York Times "Tennessee Williams took the failure of Hotel very personally - vowing never to stage an opening night for one of his plays on Broadway ever again." Known for his bouts with mood swings and depression it is unlikely that he signed more than a handful of this Playbill edition.<br/><br/> unknown books‎
