Кошка на раскаленной крыше. Стеклянный зверинец
В этот сборник вошли две классические пьесы Теннесси Уильямса, объединенные вечно актуальной, увы, темой женского одиночества. Мучительно одинока юная Лаура – беспомощная и безгласная жертва амбиций громкой, авторитарной матери, замкнувшаяся в игрушечном «стеклянном зверинце» своих грез и фантазий и обреченная, словно ее любимец – сказочный единорог. Но не менее одинока и красавица Мэгги по прозвищу «Кошка» – нищая южная аристократка, чужая в грубоватом клане миллионеров-нуворишей и изнывающая в сложном, полном жгучей любви, ядовитой ревности и ненависти браке. Есть ли лекарство от этого одиночества? Возможно ли выплыть, вырваться из него или в нем можно лишь утонуть?
