0:02:49 > 0:02:52- It is... a pretty trap.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- It's Tennessee Williams' first play - that catapulted him to fame.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- He also wrote A Streetcar Named - Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...
0:03:01 > 0:03:08- ..but this one was pioneering - at the time and it amazed audiences.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Laura, sweetheart. The door.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- I play Jim O'Connor who - is introduced in the second half.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Hello, there, Laura.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- It's a simple story - about social awkwardness...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..but there's also - a lot of complicated themes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- I didn't know you were - Shakespeare's sister!

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I can't take down your number - and say I'll phone.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- Williams has been described as - "the poet of lost souls."
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I love that description - as when I create a character...
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- ..I think of the person - who is searching for something.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Everyone has hopes and dreams - for the future...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- ..and you look at the way those - hopes and dreams are destroyed.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- For nowadays, - the world is light by lightening.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Blow out your candles, Laura.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I told you it was powerful!

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- What makes Tennessee Williams' work - so effective?
0:06:25 > 0:06:34- The story itself is a real classic - and focuses on four characters.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Their lives are so fragile - and we can all empathize with them.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- It's as relevant today - as it was in 1945.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- Tell us more about Theatr Pena.
