Author Information

Tennessee Williams (Thomas Lanier Williams; 1911-83) was a US playwright, whose controversial plays dealt with themes of repressed sexuality and family conflict. Williams was the most popular playwright in America between 1945 and 1960, winning the Pulitzer Prize twice and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award four times. Bess Rowen, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at Villanova University, USA, as well as a theatre theorist, historian and practitioner. Her research focuses on stage directions, embodiment, intersectional feminist theory, LGBTQ and gender theory, and twentieth-century American playwrights. She is also a trained actor, director and intimacy choreographer.
