The introductions, by playwrights as illustrious as Williams himself, are the gem of these new editions., Blanche is the Everest of modern American drama, a peak of psychological complexity and emotional range., In Streetcar Williams found images and rhythms that are still part of the way we think and feel and move.

Synopsis
It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared--57 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her sexy and brutal brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden, and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation, as well as that of Elia Kazan as the greatest American stage director of the '40s and '50s. Who better than America's elder statesman of the theater, Williams' contemporary Arthur Miller, to write as a witness to the lightning that struck American culture in the form of A Streetcar Named Desire? Miller's rich perspective on Williams' singular style of poetic dialogue, sensitive characters, and dramatic violence makes this a unique and valuable new edition of A Streetcar Named Desire. This definitive new edition will also include Williams' essay "The World I Live In," and a brief chronology of the author's life., Who better than America's elder statesman of the theater, Williams' contemporary Arthur Miller, to write as a witness to the lightning that struck American culture in the form of A Streetcar Named Desire ? Miller's rich perspective on Williams' singular style of poetic dialogue, sensitive characters, and dramatic violence makes this a unique and valuable new edition of A Streetcar Named Desire . This definitive new edition will also include Williams' essay "The World I Live In," and a brief chronology of the author's life., The Pulitzer Prize and Drama Critics Circle Award winning play--reissued with an introduction by Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman and The Crucible), and Williams' essay "The World I Live In.", It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared--57 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays.

    I only started collecting records this past year, but pretty quickly I’ve been growing my collection. This means I’ve dealt with a lot of sellers. By far, this seller has been the best experience I’ve had. The shipping label was created same day, and when weather paused shipping, they were quick to communicate to me why. The packaging was excellent and the vinyls were in amazing condition! I will certainly be buying from this seller again!

    Pages were written on throughout book

    The description of the book did not note that the book was written in. I was under the assumption it was a clear copy. This copy has multiple pages written in, with notes from previous owner

    Wrong description

    Just wanted to clarify: This is NOT a hardcover book. Please re-label your description correctly. My rating on this is for the deception of the product - not the content of the book.
