WILLIAMS TENNESSEE
A Streetcar Named Desire
Signet Book New York. Hardcover no dustjacket. Good condition. The play in prose form by Tennessee Williams first produced on Broadway in 1947. The scene of the play is New Orleans and it takes its title from the name that is actually painted on one of the streetcars that runs in the French Quarter. The reader attuned to deeper meanings will discover for himself what it is that Williams wishes to communicate on the symbolic level. Play introduces us to two of modern literature's most famous characters: Blanche DuBois the haggard and fragile southern beauty whose pathetic last grasp at happiness is cruelly destroyed; and Stanley Kowalski the barbaric crudely sensual brother-in-law who precipitates Blanche's tragedy. Includes 8 pages of photographs. Signet Book, New York hardcover
