The Glass Menagerie

“Costumes were en pointe… …What was rewarding about this version of The Glass Menagerie was the care and thought invested into the interpretation of the characters; much nuance and new insight to Williams story was added. It was this that afforded a sense of truthfulness. The level of insight into the characters, and the new, more sophisticated way they were portrayed has lifted the bar for all future renditions of this play.”

Elizabeth Boulton, Bolt’s Reviews

Narrated by Tom Wingfield, the story unfolds as he recalls life with his mother, Amanda, and sister, Laura, in their cramped tenement apartment during the midst of the Great Depression. The play explores family tensions and the struggle between illusion and reality in a world that feels increasingly confining. 

Brought lovingly back to life by an award-winning team, this boutique reimagining of The Glass Menagerie passionately explores the subtexts of sexuality and gender through a coalescence of Tennessee Williams’ perceptive intentions and experiences, combined with a nuanced, contemporary understanding.
