Unpublished until his 100th birthday, this play was written immediately after Tennessee's release from rehab in 1970, and during intense student demonstrations. After his public battle with substance abuse and depression, his next work was eagerly anticipated. It is a play-within-a-play, plagued by the disinterest of its money-driven director and complacent actors despite the efforts of the alcoholic playwright to reveal its essential tragedy. Two lovers struggle amidst the smut and sleaze in the French quarter of New Orleans, but it's only after the "curtain" falls that the actors face the true story of the playwrights pen.
