| May 17 at 14:00 | comment | added | Peter Shor | What do you mean by "memory play"? One where a narrator provides a frame story, told from a perspective later than the events in the play? I expect that there are a number of these pre-Glass Menagerie. Or one where lighting, music, and other accoutrements lend a sense of unreality to the story, making it evident that it is taking place in the character's memory? I expect that this is Williams' contribution. | |
