    About Richard Freeman Leavitt.

    He attended Colebrook schools and graduated in A partial list of performers is impressive: And above all, a dramatist, most of whose work has been interpreted by so distinguished a director as Elia Kazan, must indeed call himself fortunate. Tennessee Williams is frequently credited with returning poetry to the theater. He has been compared with Eugene O'Neill whose work is significant for poetic overtones.

    Both dramatists are concerned with sensitive spirits trying to find their niche in a mammon-worshipping society. Both are interested in describing decadent aristocratic families as well as tramps from the fringe areas; in portraying the corroding effect of empire-building; in deploring the homelessness in America of sensitive, creative souls; and in praising uninhibited expressions of physical love as superior to a socially imposed restraint upon passions.

    With Period of Adjustment he pursued a lighter, comic vein in a play about two couples, one just married, and their minor emotional difficulties.

    The Night of the Iguana ; film, , which won both a Drama Critics' Circle Award and a Tony Award, is set in an out-of-the-way Mexican hotel and portrays the interactions of three oddly assorted characters--the widow who runs the hotel, a defrocked minister, and a spinsterish woman who travels with her ancient grandfather. An exception was Small Craft Warnings , set in a seacoast bar peopled by a typical Williams cast of wounded characters.
