Three Players of a Summer

[Amy]

Three Players of a Summer Game is the story of the characters in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, years later. Through the narration of what appears to be a young teenage boy, we see an older aged Brick Pollit, his wife Margaret, and two new characters, Isabel Grey and her daughter Mary Louise. Players of a Summer game refers to croquet, and the lawn becomes the stage. This story might appeal on its own, but for me, and for those acquainted to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, it answers the question: What might have happened to Britt Pollick? Who did he, did they become? I loved it. Tennessee Williams is a beautiful writer, and he can weave images and dialogue in a way that's timeless. Bravo. I will miss this class, and I truly hope there will be a part two - to enjoy more of his plays once again.

Whoops, I posted too early. Was trying to suggest that this was Three Players of a Summers Game, a short story written by Tennessee Williams. (4 stars). Three Players of a Summer Game and Other Stories
