Suddenly Last Summer is a one-act play by Tennessee Williams, written in New York in 1957.[1] It opened off Broadway on January 7, 1958, as part of a double bill with another of Williams' one-acts, Something Unspoken (written in London in 1951).[2]: 52 The presentation of the two plays was given the overall title Garden District, but Suddenly Last Summer is now more often performed alone.[3] Williams said he thought the play "perhaps the most poetic" he had written,[2]: 86 and Harold Bloom ranks it among the best examples of the playwright's lyricism.[4]
