The Glass Menagerie

Set in St. Louis in 1937, The Glass Menagerie was written by Tennessee Williams. In a dream -like state, Tom Wingfield remembers his conflicted desires regarding the course of his life, his desperate need to escape his demanding mother, and a transformative evening involving his sensitive sister and a friend from his workplace. Exploring regret, lost youth, and emotional sensitivity using highly-charged poetic language, this masterwork of literature is filled with tenderness and trauma, love and regret, and fragility and strength—all combining to create a beautifully haunting play which mirrors the human experience.
