By Tennessee Williams Produced by Beth Marshall Presents ; Directed by Beth Marshall
Amanda Wingfield is a faded southern belle who lives in poverty with her restless son , Tom , and her painfully shy daughter , Laura , in St . Louis during the late 1930s . While Tom works in a factory and dreams of becoming a poet , his fragile sister seems unable to find her place . Believing that marriage will be the answer for Laura , Amanda pushes Tom into finding a male suitor for her . What begins as a promising evening soon unravels , and the fragile fantasy world the family had begun to build is irreparably cracked . Tennessee Williams drew upon his own life to create a poignant tale that has become an award-winning American classic . Winner of multiple awards when The Glass Menagerie was first brought to the stage in 1945 , the play was a 2014 Tony Award nominee for Best Revival of a Play .
