Tennessee Williams most personal and autobiographical work The Glass Menagerie showcases his phenomenal talent as a dramatist and confirms his status as one of America’s greatest cultural figures . The resonant themes of guilt, escape and disillusionment are at the forefront of the memory play, in which Williams recounts his relationship with his family, and confronts the regret he felt for abandoning them. The beautifully constructed characters, the stylish and original staging and the genuine passion of the piece make The Glass Menagerie one of Williams essential plays.
