Tennessee Williams Annual Review 2007

A rare find opens volume 9 of the Review: the previously unpublished Interior: Panic, an early one-act version of Williams’s iconic A Streetcar Named Desire.

Other highlights include an analysis of the relationship between Williams and dramatist William Inge, essays on the influence of director Margo Jones and on the long development of Sweet Bird of Youth, and an up-close look at the premiere of A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur that features headlining actor Charlotte Moore’s firsthand account of the production.
