THE GLASS MENAGERIE Opens at Redtwist Theatre Tonight, 7/28
The Glass Menagerie opens at Redtwist Theatre, directed by Redtwist Literary Manager, Josh Altman, tonight, July 28, at 3pm. Company member and Jeff Award-winner, Jacqueline Grandt, plays Amanda in Tennessee Williams' most intimate play.
In Williams' deeply personal-and autobiographical-memory play, Tom Wingfield reveals to us a critical moment in his family's life. Brimming with false hope and desperation, this vivid and penetrating drama explores the disguise of illusion and a family's struggle to survive. Redtwist approaches this American masterpiece from the unique perspective of its explosive storefront space to re-examine the dark secrets of a young man's family, the debris from which emerged the legendary American playwright.
