The Glass Menagerie Tickets

A serviceable production let down by the worst stage design I have ever seen.

While T. Williams has great plays, this one is not a particularly exciting story. However it was brought to life beautifully by the cast and the narrator. The photos / lights playing in the background also added to the story. Amazing performance!

I did not know the storyline but was able to follow what was a interesting family drama with ease, the performances were good with excellent sound and there was humour and poignant moments, as a performance with a small cast it was suited to the smaller theatre, I was slightly surprised to hear the rumble of underground trains and had initially thought this was a sound effect- one of the quirky things about London Theatre.

Great acting. The story was a little slow to my liking but that's a personal preference

A brilliant change from mundane musicals. An extraordinary all- round performance from the entire cast with superbly portrayed character sketches. A treat for the discerning theatre-goer.

Originally had tickets for the upper circle (row F - Duke of York) but this would have been impossible for my 5'10 frame so we moved to the stalls which provided far greater leg room. Theatre got quite warm so definitely take a cold drink to your seat or you may find yourself dozing... Comfort sorted, the performances were superb. Some fantastic monologues delivered with perfect timing. The acting was excellent, casting perfect... another fantastic Tennessee Williams play brought to life by a passionate and committed cast.

I loved the staging and the acting of this play; in my memory it is like a little gem, (especially seeing it from my seat high above). Noticing the moon under the stage and the reflection of the actors at the table beneath sent a thrill of recognition. Was it meant to refer to the main protagonist's reflections on his past? The story itself made a lesser impression on me then the way it was told. We are back in the protagonist's past as if it were the present when the loving anxious but domineering mother makes her son's life unbearable. Both he and the mother in their different ways try to rescue Laura, whom they both love, from uncertain future by finding her a husband who would look after her. When an unsuccessful attempt to find Laura a husband fails, the protagonist runs away. The moral dilemma involved in such an act is not emphasised; maybe it was an act of desperation similar to the nightly escapades to the "movies". The play seems topical despite the fact that it takes place in the 1930-ties America in showing the heavy burden, and the hopelessness, disability places on family members.

Exceptional acting in every role. I thought the gentleman caller scene was the best interpretation I have ever seen of this play and as an ex drama teacher I've seen a few!

Fabulous portrayal of claustrophobic atmosphere of Tennessee Williams play, superb acting. Superb production of a great play, really brought to life by first class character actors. Conveyed hope and despair, empathy and frustration in equal measure. There was a audible collective gasp from the audience at the pivotal moment. No negatives. Loved it!

Average performances and annoying patron snoring beside us. It took theater staff a long time to ask the patron to stop snoring.

I think the acting was good, but I felt the story wasn't really my cup of tea. The first half was boring and slow.

Amazing production and fantastic performances from all actors. Highly recommendable.

Enthralling, captivating and moving. The production demonstrated care, grace and sensitivity in all areas with a formidable ingenuity to portray an original adaptation. Williams' well constructed words were utilised brilliantly and sharp moments of clever dream like movement left the auditorium transgressed in a world cultivating deeper meaning and feeling than could otherwise be possible in more straight laced versions.
