What is Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie about?

The Glass Menagerie follows Tom Wingfield, trapped in a stifling job and burdened with responsibility for his formidable mother, Amanda, and his painfully shy sister, Laura. When Tom invites a colleague to dinner, Amanda seizes the chance to shape Laura’s future happiness. As hopes rise, family tensions mount, and the fragility of their world threatens to shatter.

The production brings together an award-winning creative team, including Emily James (Set and Costume Designer), Simon Wilkinson (Lighting Designer), Reuben Joseph (Composer and Sound Designer), Emily Jane Boyle (Movement Director), and Fraser Scott (Associate Director) - a role supported by The Garrick Charitable Trust and the Bridge Awards.

Andrew Panton, Artistic Director of Dundee Rep Theatre, said:

"I’m incredibly excited to work with this extraordinary cast and creative team. Reviving this classic work, a play I’ve wanted to direct for years, allows us to explore its timeless themes and create a new production that I hope will move, inspire and resonate with audiences."
