The Glass Menagerie Syracuse Stage Timothy Bond, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
The Glass Menagerie launched Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams' career and is among the masterworks of the American stage. Drawn from Williams' life, this moving memory play explores the illusory nature of dreams and the fragility of hope. Abandoned by the father of her children, Amanda is obsessed with finding a suitor for her shy and vulnerable daughter, Laura. Tom, the restless and sensitive son who narrates the story, eases his frustrations with nighttime escapes to the movies. At Amanda's urgings, Tom asks a co-worker to dinner. Can this "gentleman caller" offer any light to these bruised souls clinging to the tattered edges of lost dreams and faded hopes?
