A House Not Meant to Stand: A Gothic Comedy
(2008 release) by Tennessee Williams;
Thomas Keith, ed.
Christmas 1982: Cornelius and Bella McCorkle of
Pascagoula, Mississippi, return home one midnight in a thunderstorm
from the Memphis funeral of their older son to a house and a life
literally falling apart—daughter Joanie is in an insane asylum and
their younger son Charlie is upstairs having sex with his pregnant,
holy-roller girlfriend as the McCorkles enter. Cornelius, who has
political ambitions and a litany of health problems, is trying to find
a large amount of moonshine money his gentle wife Bella has hidden
somewhere in their collapsing house, but his noisy efforts are
disrupted by a stream of remarkable characters, both living and dead.
While Williams often used drama to convey hope and desperation in
human hearts, it was through this dark, expressionistic comedy, which
he called a "Southern gothic spook sonata," that he was best able to
chronicle his vision of the fragile state of our world.
