1. “Suddenly Last Summer, with Something Unspoken, were presented together under the collective title of Garden District at the York Theatre on First Avenue in New York on January 7, 1958, by John C. Wilson and Warner LeRoy. It was directed by Herbert Machiz; the stage set was designed by Robert Soule and the costumes by Stanley Simmons. Lighting was by Lee Watson and the incidental music was by Ned Rorem” (The Theater of T. W., Vol. 3, 345). See Maurice Yacowar's Tennessee Williams and Film, ser. Ungar Film Library (New York: Frederick Ungar, 1977), 50, for some similarities linking the two plays.

4. Williams took four years of Latin in high school and studied classical literature in at least two of the three universities he attended (Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Iowa). I am preparing a separate study of the influence of classical literature and culture in general on the writing of Tennessee Williams.
