It hasn't been long since the last revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, but that won't stop Sally Field from bringing it back. According to Showbiz411, Field will soon return to Broadway as Amanda Wingfield, a role she played in 2004 at the Kennedy Center. Tony Winner Sam Gold will reportedly direct the production.

Throughout her career that has totaled more than five decades, Field has won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among numerous other accolades. She previously starred on Broadway in The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? in 2002.

The 2013 Broadway production, directed by John Tiffany, starred Cherry Jones as Amanda Wingfield, stage and screen star Zachary Quinto as Tom, three-time Tony-nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger as Laura, and Brian J. Smith as Jim, the Gentleman Caller.

In The Glass Menagerie, Amanda Wingfield is a southern belle past her prime, living with two grown children in a small apartment in St. Louis. Amanda dreams of a better life for her shy and crippled daughter Laura, and so she pushes her son Tom to find a "gentleman caller" for the girl. However, the arrival of the gentleman caller sends shockwaves through the family, and causes cracks to form in the delicate fantasies that have kept them going.
