Williams' Memory Play: "The Glass Menagerie"

Monday July 6, 2009
Although it is not my favorite play by Tennessee Williams, I have to admit that there is something haunting and unforgetable about his semi-autobiographical play, The Glass Menagerie.

American theater-goers must feel the same way, because the play will be returning to Manhattan, fresh from its spring production at the Long Wharf Theatre in Connecticut. Although the mother and son character argue and yell, much of this drama's power stems from the shy, quiet character Laura.
