The "Heinemann Plays" series offers contemporary drama and classic plays in classroom editions. Many have large casts and an equal mix of boy and girl parts. This play depicts the conflict between a fading Southern belle and the brash lower-class society of her sister's family.
This series of plays has been developed to support classroom teaching and to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. Tennesse Williams's story has two male and two female parts. There are classroom activities included.
