One arm

"Based on Tennessee Willliams' unproduced screenplay of his own classic short story, this new adaptation from pioneering theatrical auteur Moisés Kaufman follows Ollie, a young farm boy who joins the Navy and becomes the lightweight boxing champion of the Pacific Fleet. Soon after, he loses his arm in a car accident, and he turns to hustling to survive. One of Williams' most searing character studies, One Arm takes us through Ollie's odyssey in a disenfranchised American underworld before the Second World War"--Back cover.
