Sweet Bird of Youth and Other Plays
Tennessee Williams
Synopsis "Sweet Bird of Youth and Other Plays"
Loneliness, sexual tension and the need for human kindness pervade these three plays by Tennessee Williams, as their characters rage against personal demons and the modern world. In "Sweet Bird of Youth", a drifter, Chance Wayne, returns to his home town with an ageing movie actress in search of the girl he loved in his youth, but with terrible, violent results. "Period of Adjustment" tells the story of two young newlyweds who visit the husband's old army friend on Christmas Eve after unsuccessfully consummating their marriage, and unleash forbidden passion, while in "The Night of the Iguana" a diverse group of people, including a disturbed ex-minister and a troubled spinster, are thrown together in an isolated Mexican hotel for one eventful night.
(Misisipi, 1911 - Nueva York, 1983) Thomas Lanier Williams III más conocido por el nombre artístico Tennessee Williams, fue un destacado dramaturgo estadounidense. Licenciado en Filosofía y Letras en la Universidad de Iowa, en 1948 ganó el Premio Pulitzer de teatro por Un tranvía llamado Deseo, y en 1955 por La gata sobre el tejado de zinc. Los críticos del género sostienen que Williams escribía en estilo gótico sureño. Sus personajes se hallan frecuentemente ajenos a los convencionalismos sociales. Su obra es conocida porque muchas fueron llevadas al cine, con guiones del mismo Tennessee Williams en la mayoría de los casos.
