Move beyond the well-known works of Tennessee Williams to discover this often-overlooked treasure. Clothes for a Summer Hotel, a “ghost play” dealing with the lives of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, was written in 1979–80 by Tennessee Williams. It was Williams’ last play to debut on Broadway during his lifetime. The play takes place over a one-day visit Scott pays the institutionalized Zelda at Highland Mental Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, with a series of flashbacks to their marriage in the twenties.
