Wikipedia Text
Sweet Bird of Youth is a 1959 play by Tennessee Williams which tells the story of a gigolo and drifter, Chance Wayne, who returns to his home town as the accompaniment of a faded movie star, Princess Kosmonopolis (also known as Alexandra Del Lago), whom he hopes to use to help him break into the movies. The main reason he returns to his home town is to get back what he had in his youth: primarily, his old girlfriend, whose father had run him out of town years before.
