"TENNESSEE" is a limited edition, four-color letterpress three-volume collection that contains the first publication—and printing—of Tennessee Williams's recently discovered play, "These Are the Stairs You Got to Watch." It is accompanied by "The Glass Menagerie" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

Also included within is original artwork by the world renowned artist, Clarice Smith, who was commissioned to create six, full page works of "Tennessee's Women." David Bruce Smith, publisher of the collection, has provided the commentary. Michael Kahn, Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Theatre and friend to Williams, authored the preface.

This limited collection is the perfect gift for dignitaries, heads of executive agencies, Corporate CEO's, university and foundation executives and other national and world leaders.
