The Glass Menagerie at Jedlicka Performing Arts Center

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...Most theatergoers will most likely have experienced this groundbreaking play somewhere during their lives, if only in high school English class. This solid production stands out as a reminder of the poetic artistry of America's greatest playwright. Tennessee Williams' life is more closely mimicked in this 1944 Memory Play than in any of his later dramas. Amanda mirrors Williams' own mother. Tom represents the playwright himself, but Williams' shy, introverted personality is also seen in Laura. Tom tries to erase his sister from his tortured memory, but we know he'll always be haunted. Like Tom's memories of Amanda, Laura and her collection of glass, this brilliant production will linger in the memory long after Laura has blown out her candles."
