About

The Glass Menagerie

 

by Tennessee Williams
directed by Preston Lane

September 5 – 26, 2010

Handle with care.
Memories as fragile as glass are tossed into the air in Tennessee Williams’ first great masterpiece. Dreams meet reality and love becomes desperate in a shimmering drama of a family on the edge. Tom struggles in a modern day world while his mother holds tight to a fantasy of Southern gentility and his sister hides amongst the glistening crystalline creatures she collects. With an edge as sharp as broken glass, the play cuts deep into the longing of human hearts.

The 1944 play lives in a world of memory - making both its content and style a complex and daunting play to produce. However, artistic director Preston Lane rose to the challenge, and presented a play straying from popular realistic portrayals and truly paying homage to the playwright's original vision.
