"But laugh with no reason except the red wine, For youth must be youthful and foolish and blind": First Edition of Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana
First edition of this powerfully compassionate play. Octavo, original black cloth, frontispiece of the play's setting by Oliver Smith. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Nicola Wood.
First staged as a one-act play in 1959, Williams developed 'The Night of the Iguana' into the a full-length play over the course of two years, staging two different versions in 1959 and 1960, and then arriving at the three-act version of the text which premiered on Broadway in 1961. A dramatic statement on the meaning of human fragility and hidden strength, 'The Night of the Iguana' rewards readers and watchers alike with striking themes and poetic imagery, all within the confines of a run-down tourist hotel.
