Will Mr. Merriwether Return from Memphis? is a short play by Tennessee Williams, premiering on 24 January 1980 at the Tennessee Williams Performing Arts Center, Key West, Florida.[4]
Although the play was written but unpublished in 1969,[5] it was not staged until January 1980, when the Tennessee Williams Fine Arts Center, situated on the campus of Florida Keys Community College, presented it as their opening production.[6][7] It is included in The Traveling Companion and Other Plays,[8] a collection of experimental plays by Williams, published by New Directions in 2008 in New York.[9]
