Atri Banerjee’s acclaimed production of Tennessee Williams' semi-autobiographical masterpiece, first seen at the Royal Exchange Theatre, returns starring Geraldine Somerville (Gosford Park) as Amanda.

Tom escapes a suffocating home life through cigarettes and long visits to the movies while his sister, Laura, withdraws into her records and collection of glass animals. But their mother, Amanda, harbours dreams for them far beyond their shabby apartment. When Tom brings home a potential suitor for Laura, Amanda seizes the opportunity to try and change their fortunes forever.

The Glass Menagerie is a poetic portrayal of a family on the brink of change. This intimate and intense memory play explores the complex web of love and loyalty that binds families together.

Review: THE ROSE TATTOO Blooms with Warmth and Heartbreak
by Tara Bennett - Aug 3, 2026


There's a moment early in the Tennessee Williams Theatre Company's new production of THE ROSE TATTOO when Kristin Witt's Serafina Delle Rose seems to dare the audience to laugh at her devotion and dares us, just as fiercely, not to. That tension between comedy and heartbreak is the needle this whole production has to thread, and under Witt's fearless, generous performance, it threads it beautifully. This isn't a play that makes room for half-measures, and neither does she.
