Talking Tennessee

Talking Tennessee is a first person encounter with “the enraptured sidewalk performer” who cried out “look at me”, becoming in the process one of America’s greatest playwrights. Through mischievous anecdote and provocative reflection, this piece follows Tennessee Williams from his first published work about the Egyptian Queen Nitocris to his boarding “the streetcar named success,” to his discovery that “it was life that I truly longed for.”
