Williams wrote over 70 one-act plays in addition to such full-length classics as The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

27 Wagons Full of Cotton, “a Mississippi Delta comedy”, was his twentieth one-act play, written in 1946 and set in 1934 against the background of President Franklin Roosevelt’s “good neighbour” policy. 

It follows the story of a cotton gin owner, Jake Meighan (Andy Blumenthal), and his young wife, Flora (Peyton Cimino). When there is a fire in the neighbouring plantation suspicion falls on Jake and the plantation superintendent, Silva Vicarro (Gareth Lewis), comes looking for his own special brand of vengeance.
