- Something Cloudy, Something Clear
"Something Cloudy, Something Clear" is an autobiographical play by Tennessee Williams that was originally written in 1941 as a short play titled "The Parade, or Approaching the End of a Summer", which was produced posthumously in Provincetown in 2006. In 1962, Williams retitled and expanded "The Parade" into a full-length play that was first produced Off-Off-Broadway in 1981.[cite book |last=Leverich |first=Lyle |title=Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams |year=1995 |publisher=Crown |location=New York|id=ISBN 0-393-31663-7 p. 364.] ][cite news |last=Fritscher|first= Jack| url = http://www.jackfritscher.com/PDF/TennWilliams/NY%20Art%20Theatre-Williams.pdf |date = 2001-09-20 | title = We All Live on Half of Something| publisher = Playbill | accessdate = 2007-05-30 |format= reprint] Both versions of the play are set on the wharfs of Provincetown, Massachusetts, and tell the story of a young playwright named August dealing with his unrequited homosexual love for another man.]The situations and characters in both were "clearly drawn from a very autobiographical foundation,"[Sanderson, Jordan, and Raymond W.
