About Tennessee Williams

 
 
Tennessee Williams
(March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was born
Thomas Lanier Williams
, in Columbus, Mississippi, in the home of his maternal grandfather, the local Episcopal priest. Tennessee Williams was an American playwright who received many of the top theatrical awards for his works of drama. He moved to New Orleans in 1939 and changed his name to "Tennessee", the Southeastern U.S. state, his father's birthplace.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for

The play tells the story of Tom, his disabled sister, Laura, and their controlling mother Amanda who tries to make a match between Laura and the gentleman caller.
