The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams
This play is presented by special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, USA.
Directed by Jan Frost
Monday 6th - Saturday 11th February 2012
Caught up in the romance of the past, Amanda Wingfield has aspirations for her son Tom and daughter Laura. Tom though has plans of his own, beyond home life and family responsibility - although both mother and son care deeply about the future of Laura. Crippled and shy, Laura finds it difficult to cope with the outside world and takes refuge in playing old records and in her glass menagerie. Amanda insists Tom invites a colleague for dinner, thinking a ‘gentleman caller’ might help Laura - a move that has fateful consequences.
