It launched the brilliant and controversial career of this ground-breaking American playwright. Set in St Louis during the Depression era of the 1930s, it is the poignant drama of a family's gradual disintegration, under pressure both from outside and within. A frustrated mother persuades her rebellious son to provide a “gentleman caller” for her shy, handicapped daughter, but her romantic dreams are shattered by the intervention of harsh reality. This is a true American classic!
