Play :: Three 'undiscovered' short plays by Tennessee Williams. And Tell Sad Stories Of The Death Of Queens: The central character, Candy Delaney, is a gay transvestite who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter. His long time partner has recently abandoned him in favour of a younger lover. Lonely and determined to find a new mate, Candy brings home Karl, a young sailor who proves to be a volatile and dangerous choice. Mister Paradise: A young woman home on holiday from an elite women’s college enters a squalid French Quarter residence. She is seeking Mr Paradise, the author of a book of poetry that she discovered propping up a three-legged table in an antique store. Summer At The Lake: A sensitive youth desperately seeks a place of refuge from his mother who denounces him as a dreamer and ' different ­ or Queer or something'. Swimming in the lake becomes his pleasure and place of refuge.
