Fugitive Kind
One of Tennessee Williams's earliest plays, Fugitive Kind, was  first produced in 1937 and introduced characters and themes that  'resurfaced in Orpheus Descending and other plays. Set in a  Midwestern riverfront flophouse, it centers around the  proprietress, Glory, and Terry Meighan, a gangster on the lam  after a bank robbery. Tensions mount between the two, and they  fall for one another, but all ends in tragedy. Mainly die-hard  Williams fans will want this one and they're probably better of  with it than with the lackluster film version, directed by  Sidney Lumet.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
