About this listen

 When the brilliant, anguished playwright famously sat for Playboy’s 1973 Interview, he turned the format upside down; delivering a treatise on the symbiosis between good and evil while opening his life to inquisition; discussing his sex life, drug use and deteriorating health. Paranoid, funny and alternatingly hostile and charming, Williams famously quipped, “If I got rid of all my demons, I’d lose my angels.” Actor Michael Shannon takes on the challenge of distilling the legendary playwright whose Pulitzer Prize winning work includes Streetcar Named Desire, Orpheus Descending, Night of the Iguana, and Glass Menagerie.©2022 Audio Up, Inc.
