THE STORY: Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created to make life bearable collapse.
Laura: (23-25 years old) Laura is the older sister of Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. She is emotionally and physically fragile and has a limp from a childhood illness. Laura is also painfully shy. She has a collection of glass animals
Tom Wingfield: (21-24 years old) Tom serves as both a narrator and a character in the play. Tom is a dreamer who works in a shoe warehouse to support his family. He is passionate and artistic but feels trapped by his mother's expectations. Tom eventually leaves home at age 21, and it's unclear how long since he left.
Amanda Wingfield (mid to late fifties) Laura and Tom's mother, Amanda is a proud, vivacious woman who clings to memories of the past and is at the same time courageous and foolish, charming and pitiable. She is fixated on finding a suitable “gentleman caller” for her daughter, Laura. She speaks with a Southern accent.
Jim O’Connor (Gentleman Caller) (23-25 years old) Jim is Tom's foil, the steady, working man who is neither haunted by the past nor yearns for a seemingly impossible future. Unlike the play's other characters, Jim does not visibly long for escape from his present situation. Instead, he is content in his working-class, ordinary lifestyle. He is a former classmate of Tom and Laura from high school.
