### *The Glass Menagerie* synopsis
After Amanda is abandoned by her husband she strides through her heartbreak and throws herself headfirst into securing a good life for herself and her two children, Tom and Laura. However, her ideals clash with her children’s dreams and ambitions.
Her son Tom feels trapped by Amanda’s determination, on the other hand her daughter, Laura, is buckling under the pressure to secure their future. Amanda overlooks her daughter’s fragile self-esteem, and the strain it is having on their relationship, and continues in her search for a suitor for Laura. The line between dignity and desperation becomes increasingly blurred.
