Publisher's Note
STAIRS TO THE ROOF is a rare and different Williams work: a love story, a comedy, an experiment in meta-theater, with a touch of early science fiction. Tennessee Williams called STAIRS TO THE ROOF "a prayer for the wild of heart who are kept in cages" and dedicated it to "all the little wage earners of the world." It reflects the would-be-poet's "season in hell" during the Depression when he had to quit college to type orders eight hours a day at the International Shoe Factory in St. Louis.
