What is there even to say? The way Tennessee Williams crafts inner turmoil and conflict is satisfying and painful.

I winced reading this several times! But geez the way every character in this play is living in their own carefully-constructed world is so fragile. You can feel how delicate some of these characters are - it’s tangible.
