When little Conrad Van der Bosch claims he has an invisible tiger called Sigmund hiding on his wardrobe; his child-psychologist father sees the lsquo;liersquo; as a deliberate act of juvenile defiance. Doctor Van der Bosch is concerned that the boy is mentally maladjusted and in an attempt to terrify Conrad into admitting that there never was an invisible tiger; creates the terrifying figure of Mister Holgado; a child-eating monster who is apparently hiding inside Conradrsquo;s wardrobe; waiting to consume the little boy. This triggers a battle for supremacy; as Conrad and his father struggle to manipulate the myth of Holgado. In desperation; as the Doctor fails to curtail his sonrsquo;s imagination; he realises he has no choice but to become the child-eating Holgado.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. For the serious scholar of theatreBy Mark D. R. SternThis is not a collection of Tennessee Williams plays. These are not condensed versions of his works for those too lazy to read.This volume is for serious scholars of the works of Williams and the theatre. It will take you through detailed; thorough analysis of individual classic plays as well as periods of Williams work. If you have questions about the psychological themes of Glass Menagerie; Streetcar; or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; this will take you into the mind of the playwright as well as content that may have been subconscious motivation. For the minor; one act plays; it will group them together in logical periods of the playwrights life and work to see the themes he dealt with as society changed.Tennessee Williams was not merely among the greatest playwrights of his time; he was a pioneer ahead of his times. He took on themes and material that challenged society. His plays were so daring that studios often brought in Gore Vidal to clean up his work for the Catholic Decency League who were not ready for the public to deal with his works.If you love Tennessee Williams and are frustrated by the lack of critical analysis of his work; this book is a must for your library.If you have read his works; but are still questioning his intent; this book is a must for your library.If you are an actor and want to play his rolls with the authors motivation; this is a must for your library.Step into the mind of Tennessee Williams.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book helped me in my college Drama class. ...By SharpThis book helped me in my college Drama class. Tennessee Williams plays were discussed and written about in workshops and into finals. He will forever remain a talent and his books reflect this even after hes gone. It remains in my library even after graduation.
