The Rose Tattoo by Tennessee Williams

The Rose Tattoo by Tennessee Williams

Published as a trade paperback for the first time, with a new introduction by the acclaimed playwright John Patrick Shanley (Doubt) and the one-act on which The Rose Tattoo was based.

"The Rose Tattoo is life-loving and affirmative" -- Time
"The Rose Tattoo is a buoyantly comic celebration of life and its inexhaustible capacity for breaking free from the past…it would be a hard heart that failed to surrender to its generous adult fairy tale vision." -- The Independent [London]
"The Rose Tattoo is singular in the Williams canon…as poetic and wistful a work as Williams ever composed." -- The New York Times

Tennessee Williams (1911–1983) was America’s most influential playwright. Readers have devoured his poetry, essays, short stories, and letters, as well as his fantastic late plays, his remarkable corpus of one-acts, and his greatest plays—The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Night of the Iguana, The Rose Tattoo, Suddenly Last Summer, and Camino Real. Williams is a cornerstone of New Directions—we publish everything he wrote. He is also our single bestselling author. John Patrick Shanley is the author of Doubt: A Parable, which won the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for best play of 2005, and several screenplays, including Moonstruck, winner of the Academy Award for best original screenplay.
