Book Description:

William Inge's popular plays of the 1950s received Tony nominations (Bus Stop and Dark at the Top of the Stairs) and won a Pulitzer Prize (Picnic). As a screenwriter, he won an Academy Award (Splendor in the Grass). Yet Inge's career ended in perceived failure, depression and finally suicide. These previously unpublished essays take a fresh look at some of his most popular work, as well as his less well-known later plays.
