Williams wrote a play called The
Night of the Iguana. In one scene Hannah Jelkes is talking to Mr.
Shannon, who seems to have a drinking problem. Hannah says, “Liquor isn’t your
problem, Mr. Shannon.” And, of course, Mr. Shannon says to Hannah, “Then what
is my problem?” Hannah says, “The oldest one in the world—the need to believe in
something or in someone—almost anyone—
almost anything . . . something.”
