Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) was America's most influential playwright. Readers have devoured his poetry, essays, short stories, and letters, as well as his fantastic late plays, his remarkable corpus of one-acts, and his greatest plays-The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Night of the Iguana, The Rose Tattoo, Suddenly Last Summer, and Camino Real. Williams is a cornerstone of New Directions-we publish everything he wrote. He is also our single bestselling author. Tony Kushner is the author of over two dozen plays, including Angels in America, for which he received the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for the best play of 1993. Allean Hale, writer and poet, was the leading authority on the early life and late plays of Tennessee Williams.
"Seeing The Glass Menagerie was like stumbling on a flower
in a junkyard-Williams had pushed language and character to the
front of the stage as never before." -- Arthur Miller
"Delicate and perceptive, The Glass Menagerie inhabits a
half-world between comedy and tragedy." -- The New York Times
