• Tennessee Williams
  Tennessee Williams was one of the most prolific American playwrights of the last century. At the end of his 72 years, he had to his credit 35 full length plays, 31 short plays, 6 original screenplays, 6 collections of short stories, 4 songs, 2 books of poetry, 2 novels, 2 books of letters, an autobiography, and the libretto to an opera. He was born March 26, 1911, and spent his youth in Columbus and St. Louis, Missouri. He studied at Washington University in St. Louis, and worked at the International Shoe Company there, but it never felt like home. He would later write that his life was spent yearning for his “perfect youth” in the South. This vision of the South dominated his writing, and as an adult, he chose to spend much of his time along the Gulf Coast, from Key West to New Orleans. Aside from geography, the other major influence on Williams’ life and work was his family.
