A streetcar painted pink

THERE WAS ONE PLAY BY Tennessee Williams, Pulitzer Prize-winning
writer of such American classics as A Streetcar Named Desire, which he
never wanted performed in his lifetime. It was And Tell Sad Stories of
the Death of Queens, with its central character of a ->-bleeped-<- who
brings a sailor home in the hope of seducing him.

It was Williams's only openly homosexual play. Central character Candy
was based on Candy Darling, a friend of his and one of several
transsexuals who worked in Andy Warhol's art factory and starred in
his 1968 film Flesh. It is set in New Orleans' steamy French quarter.
