The spellbinding last full-length play produced during the author’s lifetime is now published for the first time.
Christmas 1982: Cornelius and Bella Mc Corkle of Pascagoula, Mississippi, return home one midnight in a thunderstorm from the Memphis funeral of their older son to a house and a life literally falling apart–daughter Joanie is in an insane asylum and their younger son Charlie is upstairs having sex with his pregnant, holy-roller girlfriend as the Mc Corkles enter. Cornelius, who has political ambitions and a litany of health problems, is trying to find a large amount of moonshine money his gentle wife Bella has hidden somewhere in their collapsing house, but his noisy efforts are disrupted by a stream of remarkable characters, both living and dead.While Williams often used drama to convey hope and desperation in human hearts, it was through this dark, expressionistic comedy, which he called a ‘Southern gothic spook sonata, ‘ that he was best able to chronicle his vision of the fragile state of our world.
