(More customer reviews)A more suitable compilation than this will not be found. These three plays are arguably the essential core of the Williams canon, and certainly a great starting place for novices.
Sweey Bird of Youth is blessed withperhaps the finest epitaph ever in a modern drama, when the play's maincharacter emanates Williams's legendary compassion with the concludingline, "all I ask is for the recognition of me in you, and time, theenemy, in us all." Shakespeare would have salivated.
Both the RoseTattoo and Night of the Iguana exhibit Ibsen's impression upon Williams, asWilliams incorporates brilliant metaphor's that wrap around both plays likeknotted ribbons, but Williams's poetic language in each surpasses that ofIbsen by eons. Much in the vein of Ibsen's The Wild Duck or Chekov's TheSeagull, Williams gives us a lesson in fate, freedom and human desire withhis Iguana, tied to a post by a rope and struggling to escape, waiting tobe killed as food, and he walks us through a world of intense nostalgia andheartbreak with the Rose Tattoo marking the chests of Serafina's lovers.
Even O'Neil, lauded by most as our finest American playwright, neverquite matched the powerful language of the heart that saturates these threeworks of gritty, raw desire and nostalgia. Both of which, as Williamsinsists, take up plenty of space in the hearts of all.
