27 Wagons Full of Cotton was the title play of Williams’ first published collection of one acts in 1945. Like many Williams one acts, both of these plays were later expanded into full length works. More’s the pity as one cast is far more accomplished than the other. However, Marilyn Fried who directed 2 by Tennessee Williams: 27 Wagons Full of Cotton & Kingdom of Earth unaccountably chose to have the women played by different actresses. (Both of them are the closest Williams came to that other Mississippi writer, William Faulkner.) The obvious idea would have been to double cast both plays making this a tour de force for all three actors. On a January day in 1968, he flew three harrowing flights in three different helicopters, knifing through thick fog and taking 400 enemy rounds to bring 51 wounded men to safety.Victor Gluck, Editor-in-ChiefWhy did no one think of it before? Two Tennessee Williams’ one acts set in Mississippi with two men and one woman on the same bill. In his case, the job was piloting helicopters that rescued wounded soldiers from the battlefields of Vietnam. But I imagine-through different wars and different personalities and different sets of circumstances-that no definition would fit better than Brady`s own: ''A man doing his job in the right place at the right time.'' Perhaps, after watching all 26 episodes, an accurate definition of Thursday with an overview, looking at the history of the Congressional Medal of Honor (there are 224 surviving recipients, from a total of 3,398 since the Civil War).īut since the series is a story of individuals-CMH winners, as well as those awarded Britain`s Victoria Cross and France`s Legion of Honor-it is more appropriate for review purposes to examine how Brady`s story is handled. To watch Patrick Brady, an Army general, choke with tears while remembering the actions that earned him a Congressional Medal of Honor two decades ago is to see more clearly, perhaps, the horrors that shadow any act of heroism.īrady is the subject of the second of the 26 episodes in a new Arts & Entertainment cable presentation called ''Heroes.'' His story is not told until Feb.
