Regarded as one of America's most highly esteemed playwrights. Tennessee Williams' 100th anniversary is celebrated this year. The Glass Menagerie is considered one of Williams' masterpieces: a memorable tragedy about the failures of family structure, the fallures of capitalism, and broken promises. Amanda Wingfield, a woman alone during the Great Depresson, is trapped between illusion and reality. She wants the best for her children, but is incapable of acknowledging what that would be for her shy and introverted daughter and her son burdened by family obligations.
