The Eccentricities of a Nightingale | 
I went to see this lesser-known Tennessee Williams play here in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, and now I'd very much like to read the play. He said that the sensitive, quietly rebellious Alma was his favorite character of all those he's written, and after seeing this fantastic production, she's now mine, too.
love_everylittlething I love Tennessee Williams! I grew up in Alabama and live in Memphis. You might be interested in his Something Cloudy, Something Clear which is a loose autobiographical play. My university theatre department put it on when I was in school, and I was the costume designer for The Glass Menagerie. 8y
misswendyd @love_everylittlething Thank you for the rec, I hadn't heard of that one! I'm a big fan of his too, but it's been years since I read him. Time to fix that. ☺️ It must be amazing to live in that area and be a fan, and so cool that you've been involved in some of the productions! Theater is weirdly hard here in LA, but every once in awhile something great pops up. 8y
PrincessLibrarian I read this play in a college Lit Crit class. It basically wrecked my life in an entirely beautiful way. 8y

Procrastireader Tennessee Williams was born in Columbus, MS, but when I lived there there was not a single marker for him, gayness not being commemoration-worthy then. I hope there's something now. 8y
MrBook Great pic!! 8y
