Description of Play
Tennessee Williams’ classic. Tom, his mother Amanda, and his sister Laura live together in a small apartment. Their father abandoned them years earlier, and Tom is now the family's breadwinner. He works during the day, but he disappears nightly "to the movies." Amanda is a loving mother, but her meddling and nagging are hard to live with for Tom who earns the wages that support the entire family. Laura is a frightened and terribly shy girl, with unbelievably weak nerves. She also has a slight limp in one leg, and she seldom leaves the apartment of her own volition. She busies herself caring for her "glass menagerie," a collection of delicate little glass animals.
