The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Timothy Near
1996-1997 Mainstage Season
The Story
This fragile, poetic memory play, set in St. Louis in the 1940’s, tells the story of the domineering Amanda Wingfield and her children, Tom and Laura. For a brief moment, they are lifted out of their desolation by a visit from a gentleman caller, but, finally, Amanda’s world unravels as Tom leaves home and Laura loses herself in her world of glass figurines.
