June 24 - July 20
This semi-autobiographical account of the author’s
early days in 1940s St. Louis mirrors the turmoil of his inner
and domestic life with that of the nation, as World War
II envelops the globe. Williams' haunting and poetic
portraits of his mother, “Amanda Wingfield,” and
his sister, “Laura,” have become icons of the American
stage. In this beautiful, desperate tale of the author’s
struggle to break free of the burdens of his past and present,
we see the forces that formed Williams' brilliance as a writer;
and we become privy to a world “lit by lightning”
as well as the soft glow of fragile candlelight.
On Wednesday, July 16 at 2:00 p.m., there will be an audio-described
performance of THE GLASS MENAGERIE. Large-print and Braille
programs are available upon request. Reservations are required.
For more information on this performance, call the Box Office
at 973-408-5600.
