Quoted from article dated April 1, 2012 - You Are Not the Playwright I Was Expecting: Tennessee Williams's Late Plays by Thomas Keith: “Though written in 1969, Will Mr. Merriwether Return from Memphis? received its premiere in 1980 at the Tennessee Williams Arts Center in Key West, Florida. The play involves, among other things, an Irish widow who holds séances, conjuring up the spirits of Arthur Rimbaud and Vincent Van Gogh, hags who weave the fate of the other characters with knitting needles and yarn, and most rare for a Williams play, a "happy ending."” INCLUDED:One poster -------------------------------------- Shipping:Packing and shipping are taken seriously so as to be sure items arrive in the same condition as purchased!*** Some items may require signature confirmation upon delivery *** Regarding Condition:It is understood that satisfaction with your purchase(s) is paramount - your satisfaction is important to us, too!
