  • Emotional striptease

    I always go to late Tennessee Williams with fingers crossed: I am never quite sure whether the compassion and humour will overcome the inert plotting and maudlin over-writing. But Small Craft Warnings, first seen in 1972, strikes me as one of the better products of Williams's long, melancholy decline. It certainly gives Susannah York the chance to put in a good performance as a wan, restless beautician.
