The Glass Menagerie

The Glass Menagerie

Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie tells of Amanda Wingfield in St. Louis, who lives with her crippled daughter Laura and her working son Tom. Amanda remains determined to find Laura a "gentleman caller" and enlists Tom's help, but Laura prefers to spend all her time playing with her glass menagerie and her old phonograph records. Even today, many critics call Tennessee Williams' plays shocking, but they have attracted the widest audience of any living American playwright.
