Who’s involved in The Glass Menagerie?
Bold new staging is the name of the game thanks to Jeremy Herrin. The plot examines the fragility and fallibility of memory, a semi-autobiographical play. Starring one of the playwright’s most iconic matriarchs, the former Southern Belle Amanda Wingfield, it weaves the story of a woman surviving precariously with her two children, trapped in the space between the past and the present.
