Such a sad story. Reread it after watching it at my kid's high school play. Full of triggers, and not for the faint of heart. Brave of Tennessee Williams to tackle these topics. A classic for a reason.

i cried reading this. considering the time it was written, it’s so rare to find a male writer center female characters, from their own POV, and treat them with so much love and sympathy. he doesn’t forgive or excuse any of his characters, but he really breathes life into them in a refreshing way

there are moments where Tennessee’s fruitiness show in his stage directions and that really adds to the experience!
