One of the great literary masterpieces, Tennessee Williams’ very personal play is based on his troubled early years. In this startling, poignant drama, Tom Wingfield attempts to free himself from the family that haunts him.

"Staged in the round, you will be close enough to the actors to experience every detail of expression. Imagine the moment in the play when the power goes out, leaving the two young people to sit and talk by candlelight – pure theatrical magic. Devastating and beautiful: you’ve never seen The Glass Menagerie in such an original setting." – DENNIS GARNHUM, Artistic Director
