A wonderful play that depicts the hopeful nature of the human spirit, even when the body has fallen beyond willing and reputation is at an all-time low. The Princess Kosmonopolis is a dazzling character, showing a marvelous transition from the depths of dispair to the glory of being on top. On the whole, uplifting and thouroughly wonderful.
-The Rose Tattoo-
Another Williams Masterpiece. A study of one widow's struggle to find passion in a world that doesn't tolerate her fanaticism. The character's struggle is rife with hypocrisy, heartbreak, and hilarity as she lives her life with an over-passionate sense of drama. Beautiful.
-The Night of the Iguana-
I found this piece to fall into the same category as "The Glass Menagerie," in that it showed the potential for primal, sweaty sexiness, but instead used that tension to contrast a gentle purity between two friends. Lives fall apart; the miserable are kicked while down; and in the midst of it all we see a kind of beauty that could rarely exist. A thriving play full of harshness and tenderness.
