'The Glass Menagerie' Opens in Natick

From The Center for Arts in Natick:

Memory in the worlds of the Wingfields’ appear in the TCAN Players’ production of Tennessee Williams classic award-winning play, “The Glass Menagerie” which opens at The Center for Arts in Natick on November 4.

One of the greatest American plays of the 20th century, The Glass Menagerie explores the visceral bonds of family. Southern matriarch Amanda frets constantly over her two live-in adult children—the painfully shy Laura and Laura’s restless poet brother, Tom. With great cajoling, Tom brings home a possible suitor for Laura, but reality soon casts a shadow on Amanda’s dreams for both her children. With an edge as sharp as broken glass, it’s a story that cuts deep into the longing of human hearts. This iconic, emotional and enduring family drama made Williams famous and has become a classic of the American theatre repertoire.

“The Glass Menagerie” won the 1945 New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best American Play.

The production is directed by Joe Stallone and is sponsored by Mutual One Bank. Friday’s opening night audience is invited to a reception immediately following the performance.
