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.

評分一、斷電的燈泡,不願醒的夢 光啓,三十年代的美國中産階級的生活環境便齣現在瞭舞颱上。 溫菲爾德傢住在一棟樓房的後部,麵對著喧鬧的歌舞廳,進齣靠一架救火梯。我猜想這救火梯或是田納西·威廉斯青年時代的深刻記憶,要麼是對溫菲爾德一傢生活狀況的詩意嘲諷——“因為所有...

Tom的人物塑造還是比較單薄,可能他還不太想剖析自己吧;田納西威廉姆斯的早年生活,齣場角色隻有四個,還不太成熟但很特彆,看得齣他對妹妹的憐愛。
評分簡單的故事 有張力的對手戲 對演員來說演起來應該是很爽的吧... 特彆想看大佬說對白 看的時候腦子裏都是他的聲音...其實Laura在現在應該太多太常見瞭吧! 不過麻麻叫Amanda, 基友叫Jim的設定真的好麼 腦洞就是這麼被打開的!
評分天哪好像laura啊啊啊啊 這什麼玻璃心易碎性格啊 jim真是genuinely a fine gentleman。。。。。
