Suddenly Last Summer is a one-act play by Tennessee Williams, written in New York in 1957. It opened off Broadway on  January 7, 1958, as part of a double bill with another of Williams' one-acts, Something Unspoken (written in London in 1951). The presentation of the two plays was given the overall title Garden District, but Suddenly Last Summer is now more often performed alone. Williams said he thought the play "perhaps the most poetic" he had written, and Harold Bloom ranks it among the best examples of the playwright's lyricism.
