The Glass Menagerie
Visiting Company
One of the most powerful family dramas ever written about love, longing and frustrated dreams, brought to the Citizens Theatre by Shared Experience and the Salisbury Playhouse, featuring Imogen Stubbs.
In the tenement apartments of St. Louis, Amanda clings to memories of her idyllic youth in the South, where she was wooed by scores of rich, handsome suitors. With her husband long gone and her days of courtship over she is determined to find her daughter a husband. But Laura is painfully shy, plays with her collection of glass animals and lives in a world of her own. When her brother invites a friend home for dinner, it is an evening that will be forever imprinted on their memories…
Tennessee Williams’ autobiographical play is a brilliant and compelling portrait of a family in crisis and a classic of the twentieth century American theatre.
