it's very intense, the themes and meanings within the play are really deep and symbolic of different aspects of society; it's also quite heavy in terms of some of the topics Williams included.

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.
