The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Laura doesn’t like the world because she doesn’t feel it can accept her difference. Together, Amanda and Tom look after Tom’s sister, Laura (Madison Ferris), a painfully shy young woman whose bout of pleurisy as a teen-ager has left her with a limp.

Williams based Tom’s mother, the redoubtable Southern-born Amanda Wingfield (Sally Field), on his own mother, who was also controlling, reality-challenged, and needy-a formerly vivacious belle now living in a world that is circumscribed by the poverty of reality and by children she cannot understand. Like the pre-success Williams, the play’s narrator, Tom Wingfield (Joe Mantello), is a writer who earns a marginal living in a shoe factory. He carved the manuscript out of his own bones. Tennessee Williams was thirty-four years old when his exquisite four-character study about family, memory, and love-as-chance premièred on Broadway.
