Description
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams is a memory play that explores family, escape, and fragile dreams. Narrated by Tom Wingfield, the story looks back on his life with his overbearing mother Amanda and his shy, emotionally delicate sister Laura. Trapped in a small apartment and struggling with disappointment and unrealized hopes, each character longs for a different kind of freedom.
