i cried reading this. considering the time it was written, it’s so rare to find a male writer center female characters, from their own POV, and treat them with so much love and sympathy. he doesn’t forgive or excuse any of his characters, but he really breathes life into them in a refreshing way

there are moments where Tennessee’s fruitiness show in his stage directions and that really adds to the experience!

I read this for school and I was okay. i feel like Blanche is a character that will stay with me, but the play is forgettable besides that. I don’t think this is a play would read in my own. And I don’t think I’ll read anything else by this author. It was fine, just dated and not my style.
