Spanning the twenty five years from boyhood to the opening of the Glass Menagerie, this one man show evokes the evolution of an American genius through his extraordinary correspondence with family, friends, lovers and other writers.

Here is a young Thomas Lanier Williams growing up, exploring and finding his artistic voice as Tennessee Williams
