Under the wrought iron balconies of the old buildings in the French Quarter, the inhabitants mingle with street musicians and party people. In New Orleans, there is like an air of lightness. This spirit of freedom seduced the young Tennessee Williams when he arrived there in 1938.
This cosmopolitan city – marked by Louisiana's dark past with slavery – inspired him with new material that resonated in his work, and particularly in his masterpiece "A Streetcar Named Desire".
