Current Mainstage Season
With such masterpieces as A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Tennessee Williams left an indelible mark on the American theatre. With The Glass Menagerie, his Broadway debut, Williams invented a whole new approach to theatrical storytelling. Drawing from impressionist techniques in painting and poetry, Williams creates a world of memory, where nostalgia and illusion color the emotional landscape.
Faded Southern belle Amanda Wingfield longs for her youth of mint juleps and gentleman callers. Her son Tom writes poetry on box tops to escape the stifling working-class drudgery of the factory. Tom's sister Laura -- chronically shy and unable to cope with the outside world -- escapes to a world of imagination, as fragile as the glass animals she treasures.
 Abandoned and desperate, the Wingfields struggle to maintain a sense of hope. And when Laura finally receives a gentleman caller of her own, it seems -- for one glowing moment -- as though they have found something to hope for.
"Masterful dialogue ... a masterpiece of hope and pain. - N.Y. Times
