This week, playwright Tennessee Williams would have been 96 years old. He wrote many of his most famous plays in the Crescent City, so people in New Orleans are celebrating his life and works at the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival. Among Williams devotees is filmmaker John Waters, who wrote the introduction to a new edition of Tennessee Williams memoirs titled, "Tennessee Williams Saved My Life." We'll talk to Waters about whether the playwright saved his life and we'll also hear a scene from a production of a Tennessee Williams play currently on stage in Florida.
