| "Mr. Williams and Miss Wood" is a play about Tennessee Williams and his agent, Audrey Wood. |
The play is a backstage view of playwright Tennessee Williams. The two-character, two-act play by Max Wilk chronicles the close, yet often strained, 30-year relationship between Williams and his agent and friend Audrey Wood.
The story of how Wood mentored Williams’ genius into theatrical success, then stuck with him through his ups and downs is poignant and deeply moving. Williams’ personal story unfolds through letters, soliloquies and direct dialogue between the actors. We learn his lifetime assessment of the tough but kind-hearted Wood who introduced him to the American theater.
