The Glass Menagerie
About the Show
An intimate and beautifully written play about family, dreams and the weight of the past, The Glass Menagerie resonates across generations with deeply relatable characters and emotions.
Restless young Tom Wingfield is torn between duty to family and his desire for a bigger life. His overbearing but loving mother, Amanda, clings to memories of her genteel past as a Southern belle. His sister Laura is painfully shy and finds comfort in her delicate collection of glass figurines. The family’s hopes begin to rise when Amanda urges Tom to bring home a gentleman caller for Laura, but reality can be more fragile than dreams.
A memory play of great tenderness and charm, this icon of the American theater is an intensely personal and universally meaningful exploration of nostalgia, regret, and unfulfilled longing.
