A STAGED READING OF TWO NEWLY DISCOVERED STORIES BY WILLIAMS: “THE CATERPILLAR DOGS” AND “TILL ONE OR THE OTHER GITS BACK”  

Session 5, TW Scholars Conference: Theater director and scholar Tom Mitchell, who has uncovered a treasure trove of previously unknown short stories from the Williams archives, presents a staged reading of two unusual showdowns from among his finds: a ferocious elderly descendent of pirates and conquistadors faces off with a pair of Pekinese dogs in twentieth-century St. Louis, and a characteristically Williamsian troubled relationship undergoes its struggles in a very uncharacteristic spaghetti-western setting.
