Trey Rucker I'm currently listening to an audio version of the play on my Audible app. It's a 1973 version (I think, with Rosemary Harris) I've seen the play once in Houston at the Alley Theatre years ago in the 90's (I think), and I've read it once, but that was several years ago. Loved it then and love listening to it now on Audible.

Scott Kenan Hey Craig Thornton: I was Tennessee Williams's last assistant, and when he premiered a play he was nervous as HELL, but going to see OLD plays, including Streetcar and Menagerie, Tom laughed like a HYENA at all the saddest parts, getting shushed by audiences, but they would not DARE throw him out. 

This chapter of my memoir tells of this happening in Texas, when we went to get him an eye lift (which did NOT make him look as much younger as he had hoped). If you read the chapter after it, it includes our meeting Jackie Onassis:

Trey Rucker Wow! That's an amazing story Scott! 

Ironically for me, yesterday I was in Nashville when I downloaded this recording to listen to while jogging and I noticed that the play was performed under permission from The University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee, where I went my freshman year. 

I sort of knew that Tennessee Williams had left his papers to Sewanee but I had forgotten it. I transferred to Vanderbilt in my sophomore year and graduated from there. 

I don't have have that great of memories about Sewanee but I did meet two lifelong friends there

Scott Kenan Trey Rucker: I could tell you a gazillion things. I can prove in Court that University of the South/Episcopal Church with Republican Party, CIA, and FBI murdered Tennessee Williams and stole his estate (now worth at least $1/2 Billion), from Harvard -- just like Jackie Onassis warned us at a party on 1/11/82 (the story is the one I referred to above, but in the memoir I did NOT tell the Politics -- that's in my blog. 

That is only PART of the reason I am recently back from most of the last six years in political exile in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

And my wealthy distant Kenan relatives are part of it too, they controlling Exxon-Mobil,Bank of AmericaCoca-Cola, etc -- and biggest contributor to Republicans, Ku Klux Klan, and Hillary Clinton's campaign. 

Here is a letter that the wealthiest read just yesterday, after I hand delivered it to his office in Chapel Hill. It covers MOST of the issues I have good knowledge on:

Eric Henwood-Greer Caught this production when it was broadcast to cinemas (the London staging)--not sure that updating the time setting really added anything, but a brilliant cast.
