The Glass Menagerie

No play in the modern theatre has so captured the imagination and heart of the American public as Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. As Williams' first popular success, it launched the brilliant, if somewhat contraversial, career of our pre-eminent lyric playwright. Since it's premiere in Chicago in 1944, with the legendary Laurette Tayloe in the role of Amanda, Menagerie has been the bravura piece for great actresses from Jessica Tandy to Joanne Woodward, and is studied and performed in classrooms and theatres around the world.
