A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama / 2w, 6m
Tennessee Williams
S mall Craft Warnings centres on a motley group of people gathered in a seedy coastal bar in Southern California.
An expansion of Tennessee Williams's earlier one-act play, Confessional, Small Craft Warnings is a kaleidoscopic pastiche of monologues delivered in a spotlight by each of the characters as the action around them becomes frozen and muted. Through them they reveal their loneliness and the emptiness of their existence.
A part of the collection The Theatre of Tennessee Williams Vol. 5
Small Craft Warnings premiered on April 2, 1972 at the off-Broadway Truck and Warehouse Theatre, under the direction of Richard Altman.
A seedy coastal bar in Southern California.
REVIEWS
"All the characters seem to be a species unto themselves. Williams is here describing the surviving losers of mankind, the people who pay their dues in suffering and float on life with a modicum of gallant misery. Williams is a writer of enormous compassion- it is a compassion that leads him at times into sentimentality, but it is also a compassion that that opens up doors into bleak and empty hearts." - Clive Barnes, The New York Times "Instead of giving us pills, Tennessee Williams hands us a glass, if we would but look in it." - The Telegraph
