“And that is how I remember them, my mother and my sister. Good-bye."


The Glass Menagerie


Adapted from the play by Tennessee Williams, Glass Menagerie centres around four unhappy people living in a rundown section of St. Louis. Tom, the story's narrator is a poetic idealist trapped in a dead-end job, drowning his sorrows in booze. Tom lives with his mother Amanda , a faded Southern belle who lives in the past, and with his crippled older sister Laura , an intensely shy woman who escapes from reality by keeping a "glass menagerie" of small animal figures. Laura is brought out of her shell by the Gentleman Caller , a co-worker of Tom's who relies on bravado and charm to get through life.
