Long Wharf Theatre's THE GLASS MENAGERIE Plays Taper Forum 9/1-10/17

The Long Wharf Theatre Production of "The Glass Menagerie"
by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Gordon Edelstein

A fresh new interpretation of classic "The Glass Menagerie," Tennessee Williams' compelling saga of the Wingfield family in the 1940s and their struggle with illusion and reality. Tom, the son, is torn between his role as the family breadwinner and his desire to lead a life of his own; his mother, Amanda (played by Tony Award-winning Judith Ivey), is a former Southern belle trying to maintain her dignity and her control in the gloom of their St. Louis tenement; and Laura, his frail sister, has retreated to an imaginary world caring for her collection of glass animals. Into their lives comes Jim, the Gentleman Caller, who changes the family forever.
