Tennessee Williams' classic play The Glass Menagerie will showcase at the Duke of York's Theatre in May 2022.
Jeremy Herrin will direct the six-time Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Adams who will make her West End debut alongside Paul Hilton, Lizzie Annis, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Victor Alli, in a brand new production of the celebrated memory play by Tennessee Williams.
Although she is shattered by her husband’s abandonment, Amanda Wingfield remains completely focused on the future security of herself and two children, Tom and Laura although her determination collides with her children’s ambitions and dreams. The pressure that Amanda forces on her daughter to secure her future is beginning to stifle both their relationship and Laura’s already fragile self-esteem, while Tom feels trapped by his life in St Louis. As attention quickly turns to try to secure a suitor for Laura, the already fine thread that connects dignity to desperation is being pulled taut.
The Glass Menagerie is told as a 'memory play' and is introduced to the audience by Tom, both the narrator and protagonist who tells of his sister Laura, and mother Amanda, a slightly faded Southern belle who now shares an apartment with her son and daughter in St. Louis. Laura has suffered previously from polio and walks with a slight limp, making her a little insecure of the outside world. Amanda obsesses increasingly with finding a gentleman caller for her daughter who seems unable to properly integrate into society and spends the majority of her time playing with her collection of glass animals.
