Question

A character from this play leaves a place like an “ancient conqueror… might have led in chains through a capital city the prince of a state newly conquered” in the story “Three Players of a Summer Game.” In the notes for the design of this play’s set, its author used Robert Louis Stevenson’s veranda as an example of the “softness” necessary for a Victorian house previously owned by the bachelors Jack Straw and Peter Ochello. A character in this play who breaks his ankle jumping (10[1])hurdles (10[1])drinks until he hears (10[1])a (10[1])click in his head. That character mourns the loss of Skipper (10[1])after rejecting him romantically and rails against “mendacity” to his father, Big Daddy. For 10 points, name this play about the Pollitt family and Maggie, who feels like the title animal, by Tennessee (10[1])Williams. ■END■ (10[2])
