The Glass Menagerie

Celebrated stage and screen actor Alison Whyte (Death of a Salesman) makes a much-anticipated return to the Company to take on one of the greatest roles in the theatrical canon: Amanda Wingfield, the heartbreakingly hopeful mother who clings to the past while trying to control the future. As she sets out to secure stability for her daughter Laura, her son Tom – yearning for freedom – teeters between obligation and escape. When a much-longed-for ‘gentleman caller’ steps into their world, he may be the fulfilment of Amanda’s dreams, or the blow that shatters her carefully constructed illusion.

Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play in 1945 and recipient of the first-ever Tony Award for Best Play revival, The Glass Menagerie is a haunting, poetic portrait of a languishing family and the fragile illusions we cling to in order to survive.

Directed by Mark Wilson, this sharp and poignant new production of a timeless masterpiece is an experience you cannot miss.
