Description: THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY Author: Williams, Tennessee Title: THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY Publication: New York: New Directions, 1969 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. This copy is Number 124 of 300 signed by Tennessee Williams. After winning critical and popular acclaim with his earlier plays, Williams (1911-83) wanted to experiment and expand his writing style. His later creations had more in common with playwrights Samuel Beckett and the emerging Harold Pinter than with what the name Tennessee Williams had come to signify. Although this play is a marked departure from the naturalism of his classics, familiar themes permeate. Confinement due to mental illness, repression leading to social isolation and the tyranny and claustrophobia that come from impinging on one another's psychological and physical space are all present in The Two-Character Play. Williams had great affection for the play and described it as: "My most beautiful play since Streetcar, the very heart of my life." Octavo. Original light brown cloth-covered boards over a dark blue cloth spine, with decorative gilt stamping. A near fine copy. Housed in the publisher's slipcase, which is split along an upper seam and a bit edgeworn. Near fine.
