Synopsis "Mister Paradise: And Other One-Act Plays (Penguin Modern Classics) "

The greatest playwright of the American South, Tennessee Williams used his talent throughout his life to create brief plays exploring many of the themes that dominated his best-known works. Here, thirteen never-before-published one-act dramas reveal some of his most poignant and hilarious characters. From the indefatigable, witty and tough drag queens of And Tell Sad Stories of the Death of Queens to the disheartened poet Mister Paradise, and the extravagant mistress in The Pink Bedroom, these are tales of isolated figures struggling against a cruel world, who refuse to lose sight of their dreams.

(Mississippi, 1911 - New York, 1983) Thomas Lanier Williams III, better known by his stage name Tennessee Williams, was a prominent American playwright. He graduated with a degree in Philosophy and Letters from the University of Iowa, and in 1948 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for A Streetcar Named Desire, and in 1955 for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Critics of the genre maintain that Williams wrote in a Southern Gothic style. His characters are often alien to social conventions. His work is well-known because many were made into films, with scripts by Tennessee Williams himself in most cases.
