St. Louis, MO –

Twenty-one years after his death, one of America's greatest playwrights is getting a new curtain call.

Tonight (Friday), Washington University in St. Louis will premier a short one-act play by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tennesse Williams.

Williams first wrote the play in 1937 as a student at the university. Never before published or produced, the script has lingered as a campus legend for seven decades - until now.

KWMU's Kevin Lavery has this preview.
