Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

评分上剧场围读剧本初体验。表演艺术还是需要表演,不能扶贫……
评分第二次读。记忆剧,回忆中的音乐,浓缩的象征,对场面调度的重视,读剧本画面感非常强,呼之欲出。真实的苦痛,三个人各自的逃避,黄水仙,蓝玫瑰,鞋盒上的诗。最后的独白令人心碎。吹灭蜡烛吧,劳拉,然后再见了。
评分田纳西威廉斯,一个喜欢用gay来表达快乐意思的剧作家。 独角兽的角碎掉那场戏差点看哭了,真是又励志又惆怅。
