Column Based On Books A Streetcar Named Desire and Other Plays

So I enjoyed this book/play. It was the first time in a long time that I sat down and used my eyeballs. Thankfully vacation and pool time gave me a chance to finish this buddy read about 4 months late.I enjoyed the dialog and the setting. I haven't read a play in forever but it was fun to get the off stage descriptions. I felt like I could see/hear/smell all the stuff that was going on. I never saw the movie so this was all new to me.The one thing I was totally surprised at was the rape scene at

Sweet Bird Of Youth; A Streetcar Named Desire; The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams I used to think Williams was the best. Vivian Leigh in Streetcar is an amazing performance. Plus, it's always fun to see how old the actresses are playing women who are fading. I still think of his work fondly, although now it just seems melodramatic and overwrought. Or "bigger than life and twice as unnatural".Library copy

Plays are meant to be brought to life in a theatre and reading them is usually a second rate experience. But not these plays. TR could have written them as novels; he chose the language of the stage to reveal everything he knew about the fragile little birds of this world. Pure poignancy.

I love the way Tennessee Williams is capturing the concept of memory affecting these characters dreams, their reality and their present lives. It is a though he is wanting his audience to picture how the world for these characters along with their ambitions and wishes are nothing more than a tantalising dream. Memory is a precious thing for humans, but sometimes it is the cause of misery and deception for others. I see memory as a delicate object that makes us humans think of our past selves,

I love Tennessee Williams plays. I first discovered him whilst studying at university and although I never read a full play I enjoyed his work and his insight into humanity. I found this whilst unpacking my books and decided to read it. Out of the three my favourite was the glass menagerie...I think everyone has a laura in them....where they feel down on themselves to have their hopes raised only for them to be taken away again. I'm looking forward to rereading cat on a hot tin roof and maybe

A tragic play. The title is named after the Streetcar Desire, which transports the protagonist Blanche DuBois past Cemeteries to Elysian Fields Avenue named after the beautiful Avenue des Champs-Élysées en France but which also signifies the Greek paradisaical afterlife Elysian Fields. Ironically, the grandeur of the paradise that awaits Blanche is largely revealed to be a false pleasing fiction once she arrives in disbelief to the cramped one bedroom, one kitchen apartment of her sister Stella

The Glass Menagerie is, quite possibly, one of the best works written describing the fruitlessness of a forced existence, the consequences of stifling both talent and passion and the importance of the legacy one generation can leave the next.The relationship between Tom and Laura is the most important in the play with both of them the target of Amanda's (their mother) neuroses and high expectations. As a pair, they work - Tom in a practical sense supporting the family and filling the shoes of a
