Atri Banerjee delivers a moving and magical reinvention of the infamous and world-celebrated play. Book your tickets for The Glass Menagerie at the Rose Theatre Kingston today!
William's play, explores the complex dynamics of family relationships, particularly the bonds of love and loyalty.
The matriarch of the family, Amanda, has grand aspirations for her family, and wishes to move them out of their shabby apartment. However, her two children, Tom and Laura, have different ways of coping with their stressful home life.
Tom copes by smoking and spending long hours at the movies, while Laura retreats into her collection of glass animals and her records. One day, Tom brings home a potential suitor for Laura, and Amanda sees this as an opportunity to change their fortunes forever.
How far will a mother go to protect her family, and does she really know best?
