Description:Sixty years ago a young Tennessee Williams wrote a play looking toward the year 2001. Stairs to the Roofis a rare and different Williams' work: a love story, a comedy, anexperiment in meta-theater, with a touch of early science fiction.Tennessee Williams called Stairs to the Roof "a prayer for thewild of heart who are kept in cages" and dedicated it to "all the littlewage earners of the world." It reflects the would-be poet's "season inhell" during the Depression when he had to quit college to type orderseight hours a day at the International Shoe Factory in St. Louis.Stairsis Williams' revenge, expressed through his alter ego, Benjamin Murphy,the clerk who stages a one-man rebellion against the clock, themonotony of his eight-to-five job, and all the dehumanizing forces of anincreasingly mechanized and commercial society. Ben's swift-movingseries of fantastic adventures culminate in an escape from the ordinarythat is an endorsement of the American dream. In 1941 with the world atwar and civilization in danger of collapse, Williams dared to imagine autopian future as Ben leads us up his stairs towards the Millennium.Stairs to the Roofwas produced only twice, once at the Playbox in Pasadena, California,in 1945, and subsequently at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1947. Now, in anedition meticulously prepared by noted Williams scholar Allean Hale,Williams fans can share this play of youthful optimism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
