Tennessee Williams is widely regarded as one of the foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama. Known for his lyrical language and the complex psychology of his characters, Williams frequently explored themes of violence, repression, and the clash between tradition and modernity in his works. Over the course of his career, Williams authored 39 plays, 11 screenplays, two novels, numerous short stories, and more than 70 one-act plays. He received, among other honors, two Pulitzer Prizes (A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and a Tony Award (The Rose Tattoo). Many of his most notable plays have been adapted into acclaimed films, allowing his work to reach a global audience.
