This new volume gathers some of Williams's most exuberant early work and includes one-acts that he would later expand to powerful full-length dramas: "The Pretty Trap," a cheerful take on The Glass Menagerie, and "Interior: Panic," a stunning precursor to A Streetcar Named Desire. The plays include: At Liberty; The Magic Tower; Me, Vashya; Curtains for the Gentleman; In Our Profession; Every Twenty Minutes; Honor the Living; The Case of the Crushed Petunias; Moony's Kid Don't Cry; The Dark Room; The Pretty Trap; Interior: Panic; Kingdom of Earth; I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays; Some Problems for The Moose Lodge. 650 0 $a One-act plays, American $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Keith, Thomas, $d 1961- 830 0 $a New Directions paperbook ; $v 1182. 941 $a 2 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418102044.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825090159.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC2BF20A34C911E4AE16BEAADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
