QUEERNESS AT WORK AND PLAY IN AND AFTER WILLIAMS

Session 4, TW Scholars Conference: Scholars reveal surprising uses and legacies of queerness in Williams’s work: come learn about the French Quarter as a dramatic character, Williams as a foundation for US avant-garde theater, and perversity as a challenge not only to heteronormative sexuality but to the concept of linear time itself. Moderator: David Kaplan, Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival; Kelly I. Aliano, New-York Historical Society; Stephen Cedars, Graduate Center, City University of New York; Benjamin Gillespie, Baruch College, City University of New York
