At 722 Toulouse Street, in the Vieux Carre district of New Orleans, Mrs. Wire runs her dilapidated boarding house. She and her tenants, forgotten runaways from the world, struggle to find peace and meaning in an existence both absurd and heartbreaking. 'Vieux Carre' is Tennessee Williams' shadowy meditation on sexuality, decay and the awful power of loneliness. It stands as the most autobiographical of his late plays: his last attempt to find hope for and give voice to those he dubbed the "fugitive kind."
