Details

One of Williams' final written works (completed 2 years before his death), this is an outrageous and disturbing snapshot into the life of a young, troubled woman who spends her life adorned in children's clothes, emotionally deprived, heavily medicated and sequestered from society. While her bombastic and hedonistic mother spends her evenings revelling in flamboyant sexual trysts with male escorts, Nance plays out her sexual fantasies with the balletic apparition of Vaslav Nijinsky. Tennessee Williams' final portrait of his mother, sister and himself.
