As there are three separate and very different plays in this collection I felt it best to rate them individually: Suddenly Last Summer - 5 Stars, my favourite Tennessee Williams play by far The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore - 3 Stars, I enjoyed it but it wasn't as memorable as the others I've read. Definitely a hidden gem and worth the read! Each play, written in a different decade 50s, 60s, and 70s, respectively represents a playwright trying to grapple with a world that isn't what it was when he wrote ". But unlike Williams' past plays, this one is sterile - still dark but with all the grunge and grime of Southern Goth removed. And finally, "Small Craft Warnings" offers a playwrights attempts to bring his darkened mood to a period when pop and americana had gilded over the darkness of the Suddenly Last Summer and Other Plays decades. Williams tells the story of a group of friends in a bar in Southern California. None of them fit in and none of them quite make sense as they fight, drunkenly, with each other for love, money, and a sense of grounding. Elle ne vaut cependant pas les Classiques de Tennessee Williams. Suddenly Last Summer is a new Tennessee favourite of mine. Aug 26, Bob rated it liked it Shelves: Small Craft Warnings - 1 star. I had to start scanning it was so blah. What happens? I may try it again Again maybe I'll be in a better place for it some time in the future. Mar 25, James Tanner rated it really liked it Shelves: plays. SLS read for English lit Gothic module. All three are relatively short one-act plays Suddenly Last Summer and Other Plays each deal with the darker sides of human nature and are tinged throughout with regret and isolation. Suddenly Last Summer, probably my favourite, deals with Catherine who seemingly is insane after the death of her cousin in Europe. The tension between Catherine and her mother and brother on the one side, and her aunt on the other, is expertly done and the climax is well developed. The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore deals with a wealthy old woman and her last few days - how she deals with her memories and those around her as she is dying. It is a modernist play, with the stage assistants taking a role Suddenly Last Summer and Other Plays the play, but ultimately it left me feeling rather empty - the main character is unlikeable and brash, but then Williams is good at creating starkly realistic characters. The last play, Small Craft Warnings, is set in a seedy bar on the Californian coast as a motely crew of characters each deal with their own desperate fate. This is also one I liked as the conflict between the characters was well-developed and realistic, and the characters themselves well- realised. Overall, this is a fine collection of one-act plays by Williams and a good addition to a connoisseur of Williams' plays. It however is not the place to start for someone looking for more of Williams' well-known plays. The book I read was the play or screenplay for the movie accompanied by some stills from the movie. I was mostly interested in pictures of Liz but I did read some of it Suddenly Last Summer and Other Plays I was interested in learning the fate of her odious brother. Date read is a guess.
