The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams is a memory play as told to us by Tom Wingfield, a merchant marine looking back on the Depression years he spent with his overbearing Southern genteel mother, Amanda, and his sickly, cripplingly shy sister, Laura. Pressured by his mother to help find Laura a suitable husband, Tom invites an acquaintance to the apartment from the factory where he works. Each of these characters invents beautiful fantasy worlds in order to survive their difficult, and sometimes ugly, lives. Williams’ intensely personal and brilliantly tender masterpiece exposes the complexity of our memories, and the ways in which we can never truly escape them.
