Baby Doll

1. Baby Doll: Geen serieuze homorelevantie gevonden. 2. Something unspoken: Cornelia Scott desires to be named president of a society club called the Daughters of the Confederation. She's sitting at home making and getting calls from the saloon where the voting is taking place. She's being accompanied by her secretary, Grace Lancaster, a 40 year old woman who, in her relation with Cornelia, there's always 'something unspoken', something that happened long ago and to which Grace always denies talking about despite Cornelia's insistence. The feeling is that there was an awkward sexual scene between the two, and Cornelia gets attacks of angst about it now and then since her harassed companion won't say what she felt. The issue is dropped, unresolved, when Cornelia learns she hasn't being elected for anything. 3. Last Summer: The play features Catherine Holly, a young woman who seems to go insane after her cousin Sebastian dies on a trip to Europe under mysterious circumstances. Sebastian's mother, Violet Venable, tries to cloud the truth about her son's homosexuality and his death, as she wants him to be remembered as a great artist. She threatens to lobotomize Catherine for her incoherent utterances relating to Sebastian's demise. Finally, under the influence of a truth serum, Catherine tells the gruesome story of Sebastian's death by cannibalism at the hand of local boys whose sexual favors he sought. Both his mother and later Catherine were only devices for him to attract the young men.
