Tennessee Williams

Dramatists and Playwrights

Tennessee Williams was an American playwright who lived from 1911 to 1983, one of the most produced dramatists of the twentieth-century American stage. He is known for plays including The Glass Menagerie in 1944, A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947 and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955, the latter two both winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His plays are known for depicting fragile, often Southern characters and for the poetic intensity of his dialogue.
