Mister Paradise and other one-act plays

"This new collection of previously unpublished one-acts includes some of Tennessee Williams's most poignant and hilarious characters: the tough and outrageous drag queens of And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens . ; the betrayed wife who refuses to take a lover in The Fat Man's Wife; and the extravagant mistress who cheats on her married man in The Pink Bedroom." "Most of these plays were written in the 1930s and early 1940s, when Williams was already flexing his formidable theatrical imagination: lovers scramble for quick assignations in the closed movie theater balcony of These Are the Stairs You Got to Watch; Chekovian-style family ennui in Summer at the Lake leads to heartbreak; and in Thank You, Kind Spirit a mulatto spiritualist from New Orleans' French Quarter is viciously exposed as a fraud - or is she?"--BOOK JACKET
