Format:Paperback
I needed this as I was studying Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The GREAT part about this book is that it has not only the script of the original ending, but the broadway ending too (and they are different). I needed these two as my studies discussed both endings and their significances. The print has good wide margins to make loads of notes too if you are studying it. A good purchase for the student of Tennesee Williams
Format:Paperback
suited my studies perfectly and easy on the eye to read. The extra plays are a bonus and it's the original text written by Williams.
Format:Paperback
There are plenty of reviews of the Tennessee William's plays in this book. He is a master of his craft and a giant of the theatre and whether you love or hate his plays you can never deny his skill and ability nor his place among the greatest playwrights of the 20th Century. So I will confine myself to the purchase of this second hand copy of his plays where the book was exactly as described right down to the tiny fold on a corner of the front cover.
