		It was a lifestyle Inge had experienced first hand having been born, raised, and educated primarily in Kansas, and having spent his early career as a teacher in small towns in Kansas and Missouri.
		Inge included openly homosexual characters in two other plays, both written late in his career when homosexuality was more openly addressed societally and when his success as a dramatist was waning.
		Even Inge's four early successes could be tapped in such an endeavor for his overt celebration and foregrounding of both male and female sexuality, his championing of athleticism and muscle culture, his incisive critique of heterosexual domesticity and desire, and his close examination of parent-child relationships.

		Williams also introduced Inge to the other two most important people in Inge's early career: the theater director Margo Jones, who first produced Farther Off from Heaven at her pioneering regional theater in Dallas in 1947, and Audrey Wood, the agent who brilliantly guided both Williams's and Inge's early careers.
		One Williams biographer, Donald Spoto, wrote that when Inge went to Chicago "the two men had an impromptu and intense sexual affair, never resumed in their later friendship" (The Kindness of Strangers 112).2 We know that after both men achieved fame, their friendship endured, though it was at times strained.
		Inge notched comparable success with Come Back, Little Sheba (1950), Picnic (1953), Bus Stop (1955) and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs (1957) without experiencing adverse audience or critical reaction-a fact that became the cause of considerable uneasiness in their friendship.

		May 3, 1913, saw the birth of internationally acclaimed playwright and screenwriter, William Inge, whose life would turn out to be as dramatic and revealing as anything ever penned for the stage.

		Inge later described it as his "first cautious attempt to look at the past, with an effort to find order and meaning in experiences that were once too close to be seen clearly."

		Inge really wrote a comedy, Hardy explained, as he enjoyed a lunch of cold lamb and asparagus between rehearsals.
		Inge felt that "A Loss of Roses" (1959) was the best play he had ever written.
		"Inge has been called the American Chekhov because of the smallness of what he writes, but it's very deep: The characters are richly drawn and deeply felt, but on the surface, they may seem to be speaking inanities," Ellenstein said.

	Picnic Study Guide by William Inge: Introduction
		Inge's exploration of small town life, his focus on family relationships, and his depiction of the loneliness that permeates so many peoples' lives struck a chord with 1950s audiences and has continued to do so in the decades since Picnic's debut.
		The role of alcohol and sexual impropriety is a common theme in his work, which serves as a contrast to the American Dream image so familiar to 1950s audiences—that of white picket fences surrounding perfect people leading perfect lives.
		The women in Picnic are all looking for a way to escape the boredom and loneliness of their lives, and the men of the play are confused and unsure of what they want.

		But Inge, who committed suicide at age 60, will be gone but not forgotten if Cummings has his way: the company's new production is Requiem for William, a program of seven short plays by Inge, running February 2-March 2 at the Connelly Theater (220 East 4th Street).
		Inge's milieu (his plays are set in the Midwest) may be a factor in his decline in popularity, Cummings has another take on the subject: "I think it may be that his personal life was so quiet -- so lived behind closed doors, as opposed to Miller or Williams -- that he hasn't remained famous."

		William Inge grew up in and was fascinated by the dynamics of small town life and consequently set many of his plays there.
		Inge was a master in taking the stillness of the small town and the ordinary common person and discovering the complexities of their lives.
		Love, loneliness and the need to make a difference were all themes that Inge himself struggled to understand within himself and perhaps that is what makes his characters so true, alive and moving.

		William Inge came to playwriting quite late but that arrival brought him immediate and major success as a poetic chronicler of small town lives fraught with loneliness, unrealized longings and hypocrisy.
		But, like Williams, who befriended and helped him during his stint as a newspaper drama critic, Inge's star faded.
		The legacy of Inge's work includes eleven one-act plays written between 1949 and 1962 and published while he was still riding the crest of his popularity.
