Lahr/Kushner
John Lahr and Tony Kushner
On Tennessee Williams

This is a masterpiece about a genius. Only John Lahr, with his perceptions about the theater, about writers, about poetry and about people, could have written this book.”—Helen Mirren

Arguably the greatest living American theater critic and the greatest living American playwright come together on one stage to look back at the country’s most influential dramatist. John Lahr’s landmark new book, Tennessee Wiliams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh, grants intimate access to Williams’ brilliant, haunted mind.
