two plays that relate in theme or topic

I need to do a report that compares two of Tennessee Williams plays, I was thinking about A Street Car Named Desire, and Glass Menagerie, do they relate any way in theme or subject though, because i need them to. If not what are two of his plays that do?

"Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" share some common themes: mistreatment of women by men, alcoholism, living in the past, sexual tension, and sexual dysfunction, refusal to face reality, and, in each, the hint of homosexuality (Blanche's husband, Allen Gray, and Brick's "friend," Skipper).
