| Research Abstract |
Through the three-year period of my study, I have clarified that Japanese Kabuki and No theatre have considerably influenced the making of Tennessee Williams' plays. In particular, in The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963), In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel (1969), and The Day on Which a Man Dies (2008), Kabuki and No theatricality greatly contribute to the visualization of the characters' internal division. Williams' inclination toward Japanese theatre, in addition, had been brought about through his friendship with Japanese writer and playwright, Yukio Mishima.
