The Glass Menagerie CD

The Glass Menagerie, first produced in 1944, is one of Tennessee Williams' earliest and best plays. Amanda is a mother who is victim of fantasies about her withdrawn daughter, Laura. Laura wears a leg-brace because of a crippling illness and is hypersensitive about it. She is at home only in her private world that centers on a collection of glass animal figures. When Amanda persuades her son, Tom, to invite a friend from work for dinner with hopes that it will lead to romance for Laura, it changes the family forever. This classic play is beautifully brought to life by its all-star cast. "Delicate . . . moving . . . lovely . . . perfect . . . Tennessee Williams has never improved on this play." - The New York Times
