"The Glass Menagerie"

Tennessee Williams' Famous Play "The Glass Menagerie"

The beautiful and heartbreaking "The Glass Menagerie" is still stunning nearly 70 years after its debut -- the 2013 Broadway revival received seven Tony Award nominations. No wonder that after its success, Tennessee Williams went on to become one of the most important American playwrights of all time. Now playing at Dallas' Theatre Three, "The Glass Menagerie" is a strongly autobiographical memory play centered around wannabe poet Tom, his mother Amanda, a faded Southern belle, and fragile sister Laura. When Amanda pushes Tom to find a "gentleman caller" for Laura, the delicate world they live in begins to crack.
