Wendy and Amy discuss two short stories by one of the great American playwrights, Tennessee Williams - "The Vengeance of Nitocris" and "The Resemblance Between a Violin Case and a Coffin," and try a Peach Bellini Jello Shot. With one story loose historical fiction and the other possibly based on personal history/experience, they look at elements of Southern Gothic lit and themes of death and mad women. Pop a cork to historical retellings, mythical and personal!
