Found a copy of this left behind in my apartment complex and read over a day or two. I've never had the chance to read or see any Tennessee Williams, so it was serendipitous. Wow, what a play.

I think the most prominent theme for me was the juxtaposition of these three different women living vastly different lives, yet all three are similarly subjugated by the men in their orbit. 

I hope to see it on stage one day.
