A Night of Tennessee Williams – One Act Plays: “Auto Da Fe,” “The Strangest Kind of Romance,” and “The Long Goodbye”
Auto Da Fe is about Eloi, a sexually repressed postal worker who still lives with his mother in New Orleans.
The Strangest Kind of Romance is about the relationship of a boarding house landlady, her tenant, and a cat named, Nitchevo.
The Long Goodbye is about a writer who is haunted by memories of his sister and mother as he struggles to move on with his life.
Tennessee Williams established himself as one of America’s greatest dramatists. His beautiful, troubling, and poetic plays transformed the American stage. According to Elia Kazan, director of many of his plays, paid tribute to Williams and his work with these words, "everything in his life is in his plays, and everything in his plays is in his life.”
Williams earned four New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards, three Donaldson Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes, a Tony Award, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
