Glass Menagerie
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.
Reviews for Glass Menagerie
Glass Menagerie
Academy of Performing Arts
This production honored the original storyline while breathing fresh energy into its characters, reminding the audience why The Glass Menagerie continues to resonate across decades as a timeless piece of theater. Imagine the immense pressure of a mother urging you to be desirable, to fit a social expectation and the male gaze. Add then the weight of a troubled childhood and deep social insecurities. Then suddenly you are seated at a dinner table with the only person you have ever truly admired. This emotional turmoil is the heartbeat of The Glass Menagerie, and this splendid production.
