Has anyone seen this play by Tennessee Williams....I just finished reading it and it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo
good. I was just wondering if someone has either seen this as a show or even been in it....and how was it.
I think this would be great as a musical as well he already has the lead girl sing and he has music placed in various spots.

There is a movie version of this with Geraldine Page, which you might enjoy. I've always liked the play and the movie.

It was turned into an opera in 1970. Lee Hoiby was the composer and Lanford Wilson wrote the libretto.

Posted: 6/4/05 at 12:25pmI've only seen the movie. It was good from what I remember of it. I never read the play but I'm sure there are some differences between the two. Never knew it was turned into an opera.
