Everyman – The Glass Menagerie

The Glass Menagerie is a haunting drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, regarded by many critics as being a theatrical masterpiece.

An unremarkable apartment, 1930’s St. Louis, Missouri.

Amanda, a force to be reckoned with despite how she might appear, clings to the romance of her past whilst ardently aspiring to a better future for her children. Her daughter Laura, left fragile by a childhood illness, shies away from the outside world, and dedicates herself to her glass menagerie; whilst her son Tom, a poet and the play’s narrator, longs to escape his warehouse job and the suffocation of his existence.

Hope delivered in the arrival of a “gentleman caller” is inevitably shattered, but memories are not so
