After O'Neill, Williams is perhaps the best playwright the United States has yet to produce. Born in his grandfather's rectory in Columbus, Mississippi, Williams and his family later moved to St. Louis. There Williams endured many bad years caused by her father's abuse and her own anguish over her introverted sister, who was later permanently institutionalized. Williams attended the University of Missouri, and, after time working for a footwear company and for his own mental breakdown, also attended Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Iowa, from which he graduated in 1938. Williams began writing plays in 1935. During 1943 he spent six months as a contract screenwriter for MGM, but only produced one script, The Gentleman Caller. When MGM rejected it, Williams made it his first major hit, The Glass Menagerie (1945). In this intensely autobiographical play, Williams dramatizes the story of Amanda, who dreams of restoring her lost past by finding a calling knight for her daughter, and Amanda's son, Tom, who yearns to escape the responsibility of supporting her mother and sister. After The Glass Menagerie, Williams wrote his masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, (1947), along with a steady stream of other works, including major works such as Summer and Smoke (1948), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1954), and Suddenly Last Summer (1958). His works celebrate the fugitive type, the sensitive marginalized who seized the status of outsider allows them to perceive the horror of the world and often give additional testimony to this horror by becoming their victims. Stephen S. Stanton has summed up Williams's virtues and strengths as a genius for portraiture, especially of women, a sensitive ear for dialogue and the rhythms of natural discourse, a comic talent often manifesting himself in black comedy, and a real theatrical touch exposed to explaining the stage effects achieved through lighting, costumes , music and movements. After The Night of the Iguana (1961), Williams continued to write profusely--- and constantly to review his work--- but it became harder to get productions of his works and, if they were produced, to win critical or popular acclaim for them. Williams won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. He won the New York Circle Of Dramatic Critics Award for these two and for The Glass Menagerie and The Night of the Iguana. suddenly, last summer the script pdf - P(2) - Search-Document.com.i had never heard of this film before last week, but it's an adaptation of what was, at the time, a highly controversial work by Tennessee Williams..

[1] It premiered on Broadway on 7 January 1958, as part of a double bill with another of Williams' individual acts, Something Unspoken (written in London in 1951). [2] [p. 52) The presentation of the two works was given the general title garden district, but suddenly last summer it is now done more often alone. [4] Plot 1936, in the Garden District of New Orleans. Ms. Violet Venable, a socialite widow from a prominent local family, has invited a doctor to her home. He speaks nostalgically of his son Sebastian, a poet, who died in mysterious circumstances in Spain the previous summer. [b] During the course of their conversation, she offered to make a generous donation to support the doctor's psychiatric research if she performed a lobotomy on Catharine, her niece, who has been confined to St. Mary's, a private mental asylum, at her expense since returning to America. [5] (p. 14–16) Ms. Venable is eager to shut up at once as he continues to bless him over Sebastian's violent death and break his son's reputation to hinder his Catharine arrives, followed by her mother and brother. They are also eager to suppress her version of events, as Ms Venable threatens to keep Sebastian's will in probing until she is satisfied, something Catharine's family cannot afford to challenge. No, no, no, no. But the doctor injects catharina with a real serum and she proceeds to give a scandalous account of Sebastian's moral dissolution and the events that led to his death, how he used it to procure young people for sexual exploitation,[5] (p 44) and how he was put, mutilated and partially devoured by a crowd of hungry children in the street. Mrs Venable throws herself at Catharine, but is prevented from hitting her with her toe and taking the stage, shouting cuts this horrible story out of her brain!. Far from being convinced of his madness, however, the doctor believes his story could be true. [5] (p. 50–51) Analysis From its first page, the script is rich in symbolic details open to many interpretations. No, no, no, no. The Victorian Gothic-style mansion immediately connects the work with southern Gothic literature, with which it shares many characteristics. [6] (p. 229) Sebastian's jungle garden, with its colors and violent noises of beasts, snakes and birds ... of wild nature introduces the images of predation that score much of the dialogue of the work. [c] These have been interpreted several times as implying latent violence in Sebastian himself; [7] they represent the vanitous attempts of modernity to contain their ataturous impulses; [8] and standing by a gloomy Darwinian view of the world, equating the primitive past and the seemingly civilized present. [d] The Venus flytrap mentioned in the play's opening speech can be read as sebastian's portrait as the pampered son,[10] (p 337) or flesh-hungry; [e] how to portray the seductive deadlines hidden under Mrs Venable's civilised veneer,[9](p 112) as she desperately clings to life in her greenhouse home; [12] As a joint metaphor for Violeta and Sebastian, they consume and destroy the people around them;; [13] how to symbolize the cruelty of nature, such as birds eating meat from the Galapagos; [14] how to symbolize a primitive state of desire,[15] and so on. Williams referred to symbols as the natural language of drama[2](p 250) and the purest language of plays. [16] Ambiguity derived from the abundance of symbolism is therefore not unknown to its audience. What is a unique difficulty for critics of Suddenly Last Summer is the absence of its protagonist. [10] (p. 336) Everything we can know about Sebastian must be collected from the stories given by two characters of questionable sanity, leaving him a figure of unsolvable contradiction. [6] (p. 239–241) Despite his difficulties, however, recurring images of the work of predation and cannibalism point to the cynical pronouncement as key to understanding the playwright's intentions: we all use each other, he says in Scene 4, and that's what we think of as love. [5] (p. 34) Accordingly, Williams commented on several occasions that Sebastian's death was intended to show how: The man devours the man in a metaphorical sense. He feeds on his fellow creatures, without the excuse of animals. Animals actually do it for survival, for hunger ... I use this metaphor [of cannibalism] to express my repulsion with this characteristic of man, the way people use each other without conscience ... people devour one another. [2] (p. 146, 304) Adaptations and original productions of 1958 The original production of the play was performed on Broadway on January 7, 1958, along with Something Unspoken, under the collective title of Garden District, at the York Theatre on First Avenue in New York, staged by the York Playhouse with lighting design by Lee Watson. Anne Meacham won an Obie Award for her performance as Catharine. The production also featured Hortense Alden as Mrs. Venable, Robert Lansing as Dr. Cukrowicz, Eleanor Phelps as Mrs. Holly, and Alan Mixon as George Holly, and was directed by Herbert Machiz, with scenes designed by Robert Soule and costumes by Stanley Simmons. Incidental music was by Ned Rorem.

  • The Glass Menagerie Teachers´Packaug
    The Glass Menagerie Plot Overview The Glass Menagerie is known as a “ memory play” because it is based on the way the plays narrator, Tom, remembers events. The story is a told to us by Tom Wingfield, a merchant marine looking back on the Depression years he spent with his overbearing Southern genteel mother, Amanda, and his physically disabled, cripplingly shy sister, Laura. While Amanda strives to give her children a life beyond the decrepit St. Louis tenement they inhabit, she is herself trapped by the idealised memory of her life past . Tom, working at a shoe factory and paying the family’s rent, finds his own escape in drinking and going to the movies, while Laura pours her energy into caring for her delicate glass figurines. Tom, pressured by his mother to help find Laura a suitable husband, invites an acquaintance from the factory to the apartment, a powerful possibility that pushes Amanda deeper into her obsessions and makes Laura even more vulnerable to shattering, exposed like the glass menagerie she treasures. Williams’ intensely personal and brilliantly tender masterpiece exposes the complexity of our memories, and the ways in which we can never truly escape them. Detailed Summary Scene 1 “I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion.” – Tom The narrator, Tom, explains directly to the audience that the scenes are “memory,” therefore nonrealistic. Memory omits (leaves out) details and exaggerates them according to the value of the memory. Memory, as he explains, rests mainly in the heart. We learn from the narrator that the gentleman- caller character is the most realistic because he is from the world of reality and symbolizes the “expected something that we live for.” The photograph is of the father who left the family a long time ago.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Women's Monologues
    WOMEN’S MONOLOGUE’S Bargaining by Kellie Powell Hannah: Ryan, there's something I have to tell you. (Pause.) I was born in 1931. I never lied to you, I am 23. But I've been 23 since the year 1954. I know, I know. It's impossible, right? No one lives forever? But, sometimes they do. In 1953, I got married. A few weeks after the wedding, I suddenly fell ill. My husband took me to a hospital. I was there for almost a week. I was in so much pain. And no one could say for sure what was wrong. One night, in the hospital, a stranger came to see me. He told me, "Janie, you're going to die tomorrow." That was my name then, the name I was born with. This man, the stranger, he offered me a chance to live forever. He said, "You can die tomorrow, or you can live forever. Stay young forever." Well, of course my first thought was, the devil has come to tempt me. He wasn't the devil. And of course, I don't believe in the devil anymore. There are powerful beings on this earth, but man created Satan. And God, for that matter. My point is, this man offered me a chance to live. And I took it. I will live forever. I will never age. I cannot be harmed, not physically. I can't be hurt by bullets, or knives, or fire, or even explosions. I can't be hurt by diseases - in fact, I can't even catch a cold.
