The immediate post-war period marks a pivotal moment in the
internationalization of American theatre when Tennessee Williams'
plays became some of Broadway's most critically acclaimed and
financially lucrative exports. Dirk Gindt offers a detailed study
of the production and reception of Williams' work on Swedish and
French stages at the height of his popularity between 1945 and
1965. Analysing the national openings of seminal plays, including
The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof, Orpheus Descending and Suddenly Last Summer, Gindt provides
rich and nuanced insights into Williams' transnational impact. In
the process, he charts a network of fascinating and influential
directors, actors, designers, producers and critics, all of whom
left distinctive marks on mid-twentieth-century European theatre
and culture. Gindt further demonstrates how Williams' work
foregrounded cultural apprehensions, racial fantasies and sexual
anxieties, which resulted in heated debates in the critical and
popular media.
