Short summary of Arthur Miller’s Introduction for ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’

From Miller’s introduction I understand that the Williams’ didn’t just create a play using everyday words, he produced the play from ‘language flowing from the soul’ this extensive and dramatic comparison really accentuates the way that the play spoke to people. We know that in the first showing of the play ‘the play and production had thrown open doors to another world of theatre.’ The high praise from this quote simply reassures the reader how simple ground breaking the performance was, it’s a work of art that ‘left one excited and elevated’.

Honestly I think his introduction could be cut short to only the last one and two and a half pages, however, the intence detail he went into with description only highlights the amazing depiction Williams used to form his words into this play formed from poetic lines.
