T, 37. 2. Ibid., 42–44. 3. Allean Hale, an eminent Williams scholar, has made this point repeatedly, the latest effort coming from her article, ‘Tennessee Williams’ St Louis Blues’, in David Kaplan’s Tenn at One Hundred: The Reputation of Tennessee Williams. 4.

Leverich notes that Cornelius would escape the War due to his near blindness in one eye, the result of a childhood injury (39, 46). Prophetically, eye problems would be the reason for his son having been declared IV-F years later and thus ineligible for the draft during World War II. 10. L I, 5. The widow Rose Williams in the comic is ‘so strict’ that her previous nine husbands have all ‘commided suicid’ (6, sic). Violence in Williams’s writing was already well established from an early age. 11. Kolin, ‘“Isolated”’, 33–39. 12. Williams, ‘Isolated’, 2. 13. Ibid. 14. Qtd. in Kolin, ‘“Isolated”’, 35. 15.

Written when he was a ninth grader, Williams’s ecological tract, ‘Demon Smoke’, about the smog problem that St Louis faced daily, appeared in Blewett Junior Life Yearbook in June 1925. 19.

Margaret Bradham Thornton suggests in her note to this entry that Williams’s stream of consciousness style was influenced by William Saroyan’s story ‘The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze’, which appeared in Story in 1934. I suggest later that Williams’s discovery of James Joyce’s Ulysses con- tinued his interests in the stream of consciousness, which included finding a dramatic equivalent to it for his plastic theatre. 38.

Originally from a typescript housed at the HRC (box 35, folder 14), this essay was written to mark the recent successes of a local poet, Clark Mills. Suggesting that he had planned to submit it to a St Louis newspaper (or was asked to write it), Williams typed at the top of the six-page manuscript: ‘Feature Story about Clark Mills (McBurney), Clayton, Mo.’. 47. T, 125, 159. Williams referred to a similar party in his notebook in the entry dated Sunday, 3 Jan. 1937: ‘Helen Longmire’s delightful dinner and theatre party […]’ (N, 71; cf. 70). 48.

The notebook’s insert reads, ‘Dead Planet, The Moon I salute you! (a writer’s journal)’ (N, 3). In January 1939, following his introduction to life in the French Quarter, Williams began writing a play titled ‘Vieux Carré’, over which he pencilled a new title, ‘Dead Planet, the Moon’ (N, 138). 7.

    THST S392/ENGL S361: Modern American Drama Prof. Marc Robinson Summer 2016 E-mail: [email protected]. TA: David Bruin. E-mail: [email protected] This seminar surveys American theater between World War I and 2000. We’ll begin with the pre-history to this century’s theater—its melodramas, temperance plays, panoramas, and other popular forms. This work laid the foundation for the startling innovations of the early twentieth century. Eugene O'Neill and Gertrude Stein both began writing plays in 1913—O’Neill consciously allying himself with European innovation, Stein working in a theatrical vacuum, inaugurating a tradition of her own. We read both writers before moving on to the third pillar of American theatrical modernism, Thornton Wilder—someone wrongly assumed to be an unthreatening, homely figure in our culture. We then re-read canonical works by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller in the light of the less familiar experiment of previous decades. What, beyond narrative and character, contributes to these plays’ enduring value? We’ll also look at an idiosyncratic writer—Jane Bowles—who addresses shifting ideas of marginality and sociability in her theater. The boldness of all these mid-century playwrights sets the stage for the explosion of theatrical experiment in the 1960s. After a consideration of Edward Albee’s theatrical vitriol and menace, we’ll move briskly through selected playwrights from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s—some of whom are mainstays of our theaters (Sam Shepard, David Mamet), while others are deserving of more attention (Maria Irene Fornes, Adrienne Kennedy). We’ll also consider three writers who are also radical performers— Spalding Gray, Anna Deavere Smith, and Wallace Shawn.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • Tennessee Williams's Dramatic World
    ISSN 2411-9598 (Print) European Journal of September-December 2015 ISSN 2411-4103 (Online) Language and Literature Studies Volume 1 Issue 3 Tennessee Williams's Dramatic World Esmeralda Subashi, Ph.D Miranda Ostrosi Veliaj, Ph.D. University of Tirana Faculty of Foreign Languages English Language Department E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Tennessee Williams has been regarded as the greatest Southern dramatist and one of the most distinguished playwrights in the history of American drama. He is undoubtedly the most renowned American dramatist of the second half of the 20th Century. This paper addresses and explores some of the main features of his dramatic works. His drama was a lyric or poetic one, and that is why the critic and scholar Frank Durham referred to him as “Tennessee Williams, theater poet in prose”. When David Mamet describes William’s plays as “the greatest dramatic poetry in the American language”, he shares the widely accepted opinion that Williams brought to the language of the American theater a lyricism unequaled before or after. He infuses his dialogue with lyrical qualities so subtle that the reader or hearer, unaware, responds not to realistic speech but, instead, to speech heightened by such poetic effects as alliteration, rhythm, onomatopoeia, and assonance. As a Southern writer, Williams was attuned to the natural rhythm and melody of Southern speech, a melody, he says, heard especially in the voices of women. Characterization is one of Williams’s strongest achievements as a dramatist. His people are imaginatively conceived yet so convincing that it is tempting to take them out of context and theorize about their lives before and after the action of the play.

Michener Directed by: Sue Beukema & Rachel Faidley March 16, 17, 22, 23 & 24 at 7:30 p.m. March 18 at 2 p.m. Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.

Although he directed the Berlin Observatory for 40 years, developed a star atlas, and named the planet Uranus, his fame is based on another man's discovery. In 1772, it was pointed out that the numbers 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96, when added to 4 and divided by 10, give, in astronomical units, the radii of planetary orbits.
