Oh Tenn Williams

Dear Mr. Williams,
I like you more than Mr. Miller, I think.

I fell in love with you all over again last night. Down at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The beautiful and ridiculously talented Cate Blanchett was your Blanche.

She really was astounding. I feel the psychic energy between you both.

So many layers. Oh, your words. Your ideas. You are incredible. Thank you for sharing your gift.

I sit and experience your play and I think to myself--my god, how could I ever write something like this? I'm trying to write a family drama- paa! Why even bother, it's been done already! (By you! and so amazingly!)

But this morning, as I toasted my bread and thought about our wild night together, I realized...yes, although you're amazing, and although you speak to me very brillantly...you don't speak to everyone.

Almost everyone, but not quite. And so, thank god! There are still some people left out there that I can try to reach.

Until next time,
Love Andrew

PS- they're doing CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF in London when I'll be there in February, and with an all-black cast! Can you believe that?! I wonder what you think of that. I guess that will be our next date..
