Thomas Lanier Williams = "TENNESSEE WILLIAMS" 

SMILE

In the small town of Colombus (Mississippi), talented boy was born. 
Cat on the Hot Tin Roof is about rich family. Big Daddy is the boss, but his son Brick thinks he does not have any feeling and never ever love him. 
But how can a writer as T.Williams write this play? Who influenced him? HIS LIFE,HIS FAMILY! His father was an international shoe salesman, but also heavy drinker and smoker. Because of that he spends lot of his time with his sister and grandmother. He misses the strong "father hand".
Tennessee studied at different universities, but all he wanted to do there was writing. It was the escape from the outside world for him. At University of Iowa he received his nickname "Tennessee", because everybody knows that he is from south."It's better than being called Mississippi," he joked. His plays follow what he calls the "memory play" format.


" He spent most of his time closing his eyes. He could see wonderful, magnificent scenes in his mind." Anonymous critic.


Do you know that he wrote 38 plays, 9 fiction, 3 poetry and 8 other works? Let me think, you don't know any of his plays, but that's why I'm here!
