Tennessee Williams' award
winning portrayal of a disintegrating family in the American Deep South is one
of his most sensitive and tragic plays. Amanda has struggled to raise her
children, Tom and Laura, during the Depression. Now she is seeking to
marry off her shy, crippled daughter, fearing that Laura will become an old
spinster, and worried that Tom will abandon them both to seek out a life of his
own elsewhere.
Laura's reclusive life revolves
around her collection of glass animals, each as delicate and fragile as she is.
When Tom brings a friend home to meet her, she finally believes there is a
chance she can be happy. However, between her mother's oppressive sense of
futile hope and her brother's private endeavours to better himself, Laura -- and
her glass menagerie -- face an uncertain future.
Cast includes Barbara Marten,
Nicola Harrison, Antony Eden, and Joseph Arkley |
