The Strangest Kind of Romance archiveThe Strangest Kind of Romance, (1942), is a tender and heartfelt play that takes place in a desolate rooming house in an industrial city. Williams tells the story of a ghost of a man who hides from the world he does not belong to by loving a cat named Nitchevo. His landlady seeks to use him for her own desires and destroy the only thing he loves. The arrival of a crude Stanley Kowalski styled boxer, provides the landlady with the gratification she seeks. In one of Williams' most political passages, the landlady's father-in-law rages against the industrial system that has emasculated him and ruined his life. UK Premiere. Double bill with The Magic Tower - Both of these plays are set during the Great American Depression of the 1930s. Williams creates touching portraits of the dispossessed and demonstrates his customary compassion for the outcast, probing the loneliness and the instability of the vagabond life.
