The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams

Directed by Michael Lederman

September 18 - October 10, 2009


A major American theatrical classic, a winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945, and his first major play, this beautiful drama thrust Tennessee Williams into fame. Loosely autobiographical, the play explores the fragility of the human condition. From the overbearing Amanda, who was described in the original 1945 review as "a bit of a scold, a bit of a snob", to the fragile Laura, holding out hopes of love, to Tom, trapped within himself, this play resonates with failed expectations and the delicacy of dreams that are easily shattered. "The Glass Menagerie, like Spring, is a pleasure to have in the neighborhood" — New York Times.
