Amazing with an amalgamation of morally grey characters fighting for power and influence over Stella that ends in brutal tradgedy.

One word only: disturbing 😳


But a little bit more…, I don’t know what to make out of it. The story really caught me and made me angry and sad and depressed and made me feel impotent.

Such a sad story. Reread it after watching it at my kid's high school play. Full of triggers, and not for the faint of heart. Brave of Tennessee Williams to tackle these topics. A classic for a reason.
