Amanda is devastated by her husband’s abandonment and her attentions change to focus on the future security of her children. Years later, through the fractured prism of memory, Tom relives and reflects on the pressure that was placed on his sister to find a suitor and his own pursuit of freedom.
THE GLASS MENAGERIE would ultimately become one of Williams’ greatest works, with future plays including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire. This ambitious reimagining of the classic play is set to encapsulate audiences from May 2022.
