I think I can positively say that this is my favorite Tennessee Williams play! Touching, sweet, and relates to anyone whose dreams are being pushed aside in order to help the family survive. Every family will always have the dreamer, the person who lives in their memory and the person whose personality traps them from branching out and doing what they want to do. Tom, Amanda and Laura all created an atmosphere that anyone would want to step into, only if it is for a while and take in their story about what life truly is under all that false hope. In my current yearning for reading plays, this has to be one of my favorites, alongside DOUBT and FENCES (and more).
