Fugitive Kind is a 1937 play written by Tennessee Williams.
The action takes place in a flophouse in Two Rivers, Mississippi during the waning days of 1936, as the New Year 1937 is imminent.
The play features a lonesome clerk, who oversees a hotel that houses a collection of alcoholic losers and a rebellious college student.
The owner of the hotel is an obsessive Jew.
The clerk is befriended by an on-the-run gangster, Terry Meighan, who claims to be a victim of the corrupt social system.
