"Referencing Williams's symbolic nickname for Laura in The Glass Menagerie, Ciba arranges archival memories that provoke, resist, and reimagine Williams's contribution to LGBTQ+ culture. For each archive, Ciba theorizes new archival methodologies that blend memory studies, queer theory and theatre historiography. Archival collections include fan mail from the Tennessee Williams Papers at Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Margo Jones Papers at the Dallas Public Library, the Robert Downing Papers at the Harry Ransom Center, the Esther Merle Jackson Papers at the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, and the Maria St. Just Papers at the Harvard Theatre Collection. Each blue rose contains the memory of untold stories that celebrate queer joy that correspond to different periods of Williams's life, ranging from World War II through the Lavendar Scare and the Stonewall uprising"-- Provided by publisher.
