Tennessee Williams on the stages of Buenos Aires

Resumen

The impact of Tennessee Williams, and others such as Eugene O’Neill and Arthur Miller, is notable, particularly in the theaters of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In truth, not only his works have been performed with great reception from the local public, they also had an impact on notable Argentine authors. We propose, in this tribute, to make a review of the main versions of his most famous works that have been produced in the Federal Capital, from the middle of the 20th century to 2023, highlighting some aspects regarding their creators and other elements that allow us to understand the production context. We do not intend to carry out an exhaustive study, we would exceed the scope since we should include all the performances that have been staged and are being carried out in all the provinces. We wish to study the scope of its productivity in the local scene and its validity.
