Tennessee Williams Hotel Plays

Rainy day
The French Quarter
Hermann-Grima House
Seedy Southern mansion
Crowded into run down rooms
Glimpses of past glory
Days of elegance
Long gone by
Audience jammed in
Inches from actors
Fantasy fragments
Fevered detritus
Fueled by rum
Cigarettes burning
Lamp of squalid imagination
Setting more than sets
Ambiance as art
Snippets of characters
Sketches from compulsive
Work for the sake of it
Not making sense or
Meant to
Drinking the Kool Aide
Degenerate characters
Last gasps
Compelling glimpses
Les Tableaux Vivant
Times indeed
So Picayune
Scent of decayed
Magnolias
