About This Novel
One of the three greatest American dramatists of the 20th century, a talented playwright; the original script of a classic film starring Richard Burton, a New York Drama Critics Award-winning work; a tribute to those who cry out for dignity and kindness. Williams' famous three-act play, first performed in December 1961. The play once again created the image of a homeless "fugitive clan". From the perspective of the tour guide Shannon - a weirdo in the eyes of everyone, a former priest who was stripped of his vestments - the whole world is the scope of his travels. He is not rigidly bound to the schedule in the brochure. He believes that as long as there are hearts that can be touched and emotions that can be felt, people should see as much of the lower society as possible everywhere. This fish, who dreams of swimming but is always intercepted and persecuted by sharks, has sympathy with a wandering female painter Hannah, who also advocates freedom and is despised. With Hannah's help, he fights his own demons, trying to break free like a trapped iguana about to be cooked by cutting a rope, crossing the dark corners of his nature, breaking down the barriers between people and making contact with each other.
