Williams`s theme of the isolated character in the margin is manifest here in THE FUGITIVE KIND, written in 1937, one of Williams`s earliest plays. Written when he was just 26, this play draws inspiration from both high and low, as the plot is reminiscent of both Shakespeare and gangster flicks. The action unfolds in the underlife of the St. Louis waterfront, and features gangsters, hopeful artists, and the desperately unemployed people he probably encountered in the same locale in life. The introduction provides historical and literary insight. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
