The Glass Menagerie

The Glass Menagerie

By: Tennessee Williams

Seen through the lens of memory, The Glass Menagerie captures a family clinging to hope in a world that offers little mercy. Tennessee Williams’s deeply personal masterpiece follows the Wingfield family as they navigate love, obligation, and longing. Amanda Wingfield lives in memories of her past, Laura retreats into her delicate glass collection, and Tom yearns for a life beyond the fire escape. Rich with symbolism and emotional depth, The Glass Menagerie is a timeless American classic that explores the fragile beauty of dreams—and how easily they can shatter.
