The Glass Menagerie Comes to the Pollock Theatre

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

College of the Desert Theatre presents The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, directed by Denis McCourt. Set in a modest St. Louis apartment, the play follows Amanda Wingfield, a former Southern belle struggling to provide for her children after her husband’s abandonment. As Amanda urges her son Tom to take responsibility and pushes her shy daughter Laura to find a husband, tensions grow between dreams of escape and the realities of their lives. When Tom invites a friend to dinner as a potential suitor for Laura, the fragile balance within the family is tested. Known for its tenderness, beauty, and emotional depth. A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre.
