Tennessee Williams puts intent into every last piece of punctuation he puts into this play. A well thought out, simple premise, with complex roots.

Reading plays is always enjoyable and quick, it feels conversational and this is no exception. The characters are realistic and interesting, deeper than surface level. You follow daily life for the family, and have your opinions shifted every time action takes place. Really enjoyable and reflective on how plays and acting represent and reflect society. Super good to read a pre-annotated copy to get some context and deeper understanding and meaning from this read.

It was very dark. There is a lot talked about in this book and none of it is happy. However, it was well written and I did enjoy it but I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.
