The piays of Tennessee Williams’ post-1961 period
have often been misunderstood and dismissed.
In light of Williams’ centennial in 2011, which was
marked internationally by productions and world
premieres of his late plays, Annette I. Saddik’s new
reading of these works illuminates them in the
context of what she terms a “theatre of excess,”
ft
which seeks liberation through exaggeration, chaos,
ambiguity, and laughter. Saddik explains why
these plays are now gaining increasing acclaim,
and analyzes recent productions that successfully
captured elements central to Williams’ late aesthetic,
of what he called “the strange, the crazed, the queer.”
