Vieux Carré by Tennessee Williams

Vieux Carré by Tennessee Williams. This play is significant in Tennessee Williams' body of work and is one of his later plays, set in the French Quarter of New Orleans (referred to as "Vieux Carré"). It was first performed in the mid-1970s and reflects many themes central to Williams’ work, such as loneliness, creativity, and survival.

This is a rare script copy, possibly used for production, given the appearance of the binding and studio duplicating service markings. This could indicate that it’s an original or early copy used during the production process.
