About this listen
The extraordinary true story of Abe, a man the playwright met at his synagogue. Abe was a fellow of great humor and heart who not only survived three years at Auschwitz - certainly the worst place on earth - but fell in love there. Abe’s life speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, renewal, and hope, even when there seems to be none.
Includes an interview with playwright Stephen Tobolowsky and LATW Producing Director Susan Loewenberg.

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams is one of the three most important American dramatists of the 20th century, alongside Arthur Miller and Eugene O'Neill.

Collected here are some of the best, beginning with the play that launched Williams' career: The Glass Menagerie.
