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.

Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.
An emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. The long delayed but always expected something that we live for.
评分老实说我无法对Tom喜欢起来
评分2019/07/26 - 2019/07/28
评分一般,远远比不上读的上两本田纳西精彩,比较平实,唯一亮眼的是摔断角的独角兽,"Is it broken?" "Now it is just like all the other horses."
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。
