WORKS OF ART SET IN ST. LOUIS
STORIES THAT FEATURE OUR CITY
S t. Louis is one of the
'KING OF THE HILL' (1993)
Midwest’s most important cultural hubs. As such, it’s
Not to be confused with the animated TV series of the same name, Steven Soderbergh’s 1993 film “King of the Hill” is based on the real-life account of A.E. Hotchner’s experience growing up in Depression-era St. Louis. Aaron, the film’s protagonist, struggles to fill his days and make sense of life while his father travels on business and his mother treats her tuberculosis in a sanatorium. Soderbergh is now best known for blockbusters like “Ocean’s Eleven,” but he got his start with small, poignant movies like this one. Another work based on reality, “Masters of Sex” dramatizes the studies of Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson. The pair of pioneering researchers into the nature of our sexual desires were based at Washington University for the bulk of their illustrious careers. The show, which ran for four seasons, investigates both the nature of their studies and their personal relationship. Looking at the title, you are right to surmise this show is best suited for older audiences. 'MASTER OF SEX' (2013-16)
no surprise the city has served as the primary setting for many major works of art. While it may not have the glitz of Hollywood or the glamor of Broadway, the Gateway to the West can be proud of its starring role in the following iconic works of art.
'THE GLASS MENAGERIE' (1944)
Tennessee Williams, one of America’s preeminent playwrights, was born and raised in Missouri. His native stomping grounds were the setting for his breakthrough drama “The Glass Menagerie.” With heavy inspiration from Williams’ own life, the play centers around a fallen debutante who hopes to find a suitable future for her children. Given its prominence in both the literary canon and St. Louis history, we’re willing to bet that nearly every public school student was assigned the work at some point.
