	Queer As Folk Addiction \| Gale Harold \| Sweet Bird of Youth
		Sweet Bird of Youth is a 1959 Tennessee Williams play which tells the story of a vigorous but aging movie star trying to recapture her youth, and a driven yet somewhat unscrupulous young man who is seeking stardom and true love.
		Youth is sweet and has a buoyant quality, while the enemy, time, is what makes the sweet bird fly.
		The form of Sweet Bird of Youth is poetic and the characters in it are larger than life.

	Theatre Review - Sweet Bird of Youth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth, as produced by the Theater Guild of Webster Groves is a decidedly mixed bag of excellence and disappointment.
		She knew her lines, and she performed well enough not to diminish the rest of the performance, but she was strangely without passion in her portrayal, seeming to be more focused on her lines than the character, a shame because the role of the Princess is one of the more delicious roles in modern theater.
		Sweet Bird of Youth will be performed May7th, 8th and 9th at 8:00 PM and May 10th at 2:00 PM at the Theater Guild in Webster Groves.

	Sweet Bird of Youth Summary & Essays - Tennessee Williams
		Though Tennessee Williams’s Sweet Bird of Youth (1959) was his biggest box office success since Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), the play came to be regarded as an example of the playwright in decline.
		Touching on familiar themes for Williams (including lost youth and aging, loneliness, sex, and pretending to be what one is not), Sweet Bird of Youth was inspired in part by his own life, though not autobiographical.

		I suppose this is what happened when I picked up Sweet Bird of Youth -- now I did “watch” the entire movie, but this included a multitude of frustration due to the tape, which experienced random glitches, especially during a ten-minute stretch during the middle in which sound and colours were dropping out.
		Sweet Bird of Youth is essentially a melodrama of the Deep South, with all sorts of sketchy, sleazy, and/or troubled characters (unlike my personal experience with the VHS tape, which was a melodrama with a cast of one).
		Overall, Sweet Bird of Youth does have some decent actors, and is a fun soap opera, but little more.

		Margaret Colin as Princess Kosmonopolis in Sweet Bird of Youth
		She may not be able to keep the bird of youth from flying away, but she makes you believe that she has enough confidence and common sense to survive even without the final act's surprise news of her temporary reprieve from obscurity.
		Of course, reconnecting with Heavenly is as much a pipe dream as his Hollywood ambitions, and the inevitable outcome of his return is that Boss Finley and his boorish bully of a son will have their eye-for-an-eye vengeance for his besmirching Heavenly's purity.

		Sweet Bird of Youth has the Tennessee Williams penchant for provocation and Southern depravity--although at this point, the bloom is somewhat off the hothouse flower.
		Sweet Bird of Youth is initially a hard movie to get into, the first ten minutes are talky and oblique and it's sort of hard to figure out what the movie is going to be about.
		Sweet Bird of Youth incorporates a lot of flashbacks to keep the plot moving and to explain the various characters' pasts.

		Despite the acrid nature of its material, 'Sweet Bird of Youth' is Williams in a relaxed mood as a writer.
		The "acrid nature of the material" is Tennessee Williams's lifelong subject: The fate of love and passion, specifically, the doomed collision between the poignant sexual and emotional desires of old age and the attractiveness and ambition of youth.
		The older character is always a woman; the youth is always a handsome man and the two of them are inescapably drawn to each other to fulfill their very different needs, against their better judgment.

		In Sweet Bird of Youth she is just not Elizabeth Taylor but the ageing actress the way Williams would have wanted it.
		In one sense, she was a perfect choice to play the aging actress hiding behind the identity of the "Princess Kosmonopolis" in SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH.
		What I find interesting about this play is how when the play opens we are exposed to the Princess's obsessive concern about growing old and losing her physical attractiveness, but by the end of the play this obsession has been transferred to the male lead, to Chance.

	Sweet Bird of Youth: review on TheaterMania.com
		In the Williamstown Theatre Festival's otherwise successful staging of Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth, Cecil has curiously opted to portray Chance Wayne, that archetypal hustler whose main chance resides in his raw animal magnetism, as a whiny, insecure loser from the get-go.
		The whole pathos of the play lies in Wayne's gradual realization, at the worldly-wise age of 29, that he'll never live up to his adolescent aspirations -- whether show-biz success or a romantic reunion with Heavenly Finley (Bess Wohl), the tarnished dream girl of his teens.
		Sweet Bird of Youth is among the canon of Williams' hothouse dramas, in which repressed sexuality ultimately outs with disastrous consequences all around.

		It deals with ambition, lost love, and the uncontrollable passing of time, which is the enemy of the central characters in their quest for greatness.
