Staged Reading: “Fin du Monde (A Postscript to the Casualty List)”
Theater director and emeritus professor Tom Mitchell and members of the University of Illinois theater company present a staged reading of a previously unpublished short story by Tennessee Williams, in which a gay couple in the French Quarter muses on how the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor stands to change the lives of artists and outsiders forever. An experienced editor and researcher, Mitchell provides additional historical context for the story and insight into Williams’s circle and way of life in the years before and during World War II.
