The Glass Menagerie by Tennesee Williams
Show Dates: Sept. 18, 19, 26, 27
A faded remnant of Southern gentility, Amanda Wingfield lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son Tom and daughter Laura. Focused on securing their future but shattered by her husband’s abandonment, Amanda collides with her children’s dreams and ambitions. While Tom feels trapped by his life – seeking escape through alcohol and the movies – Amanda pressures her sensitive, physically handicapped daughter Laura to find a husband, crushing their relationship and Laura’s fragile self-esteem. As attentions turn to securing a suitor for Laura, Tom invites his acquaintance Jim to dinner, and the fine thread that connects dignity to desperation is pulled taut as their mother sees a possibility for her daughter. A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre.
