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.
天哪好像laura啊啊啊啊 这什么玻璃心易碎性格啊 jim真是genuinely a fine gentleman。。。。。
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."
评分这本描写的家庭关系要比A Streetcar Named Desire要让我痛苦,因为Amanda对儿子女儿的束缚和期望让人窒息,三人都在逃避现实,互相折磨,这种家庭关系要比Blanche的崩溃更有实感。而且Jim对自卑敏感的Laura的温柔和善解人意之后在对其的打击真是……令人绝望,不知道Laura最后会怎样;还有Tom那句:People go to the movies instead of moving. 最后Tom还是选择跟父亲一样了啊

评分简单的故事 有张力的对手戏 对演员来说演起来应该是很爽的吧... 特别想看大佬说对白 看的时候脑子里都是他的声音...其实Laura在现在应该太多太常见了吧! 不过麻麻叫Amanda, 基友叫Jim的设定真的好么 脑洞就是这么被打开的!
