Essential Tennessee WilliamsCompact Disc, 27 February 2007

Tennessee Williams, one of America's most beloved playwrights, reads from his own work in an extraordinary and historic recording from the very earliest of the Caedmon archive.

This CD opens with the playwright reading the wistful opening monologue and the tragic ending of his Pulitzer Prize winning memory play, The Glass Menagerie. In addition, Williams reads a collection of his light and charming poetry that skillfully displays his range and skill. And Williams ends with his uproariously wicked short story, The Yellow Bird.
