“When I write, everything is visual, as brilliantly as if it were on a lit stage. And I talk out the lines as I write. When I was in Rome, my landlady thought I was demented. She told Frank [Merlo], ‘Oh, Mr. Williams has lost his mind! He stalks about the room talking out loud!’ Frank said, ‘Oh, he’s just writing.’ She didn’t understand that.” —Tennessee Williams Born Thomas Lanier Williams III in Columbus, Mississippi, Tennessee Williams (1911–83) was one of America’s greatest playwrights. An intensely emotional and personal writer, Williams cast his characters from the heart, often drawing on family and life experiences for inspiration. The writer’s mother was the source for the character Amanda Wingfield in his first successful play, The Glass Menagerie, which opened on Broadway in 1945 and brought him overnight fame. Two years later, A Streetcar Named Desire premiered with Marlon Brando in the lead, winning Williams his first of two Pulitzer Prizes for drama. In all, he wrote more than two-dozen full-length plays, all of them produced on and off Broadway, in addition to a selection of short stories, poetry, and two novels.

"What I am trying to do, and what four or five others in my field are trying to do, is to recreate an international image of English silver in modern terms...what we want to do is to bring the whole craft up-to-date with all the skill in the making that made the earlier silver famous."
