Two-time Academy Award-winner Sally Field and two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello return to the Broadway stage to star in Tennessee Williams’s most cherished play,
The Glass Menagerie. Tony Award winner Sam Gold (
Fun Home) will direct the production, a transfer from a Dutch production at Toneelgroep Amsterdam that garnered rave reviews and massive international attention.
SYNOPSIS:
Ghosts of the past continue to haunt in Williams seminal play The Glass Menagerie. Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a cramped St. Louis apartment with her aimless son, Tom, and her debilitatingly shy daughter, Laura. With their father absent and the Great Depression in motion, the siblings find comfort in their distractions — alcohol, movies and writing for Tom and a collection of glass animals for Laura. When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfield family is flooded with hope. But it’s uncertain if this mysterious visitor will change things for the better or shatter a family’s fragile illusions.
