Glass breaks so easily. No matter how careful you are.

In a small apartment in 1930s St Louis, Amanda Wingfield and her two children, Tom and Laura, spin singular and separate dreams.

Tom is torn between his obligation to his family and his desire to break away from the suffocating embrace of his mother and his shy and frail sister, whose memory he will never escape. Abandoned by her husband, Amanda comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in the American Deep South, when she was pursued by ‘gentlemen callers’.

Now she fights to provide a better life for her grown children, while they struggle for a future that seems unlikely ever to fulfil their mother’s hopes and dreams. But a change in fortune suddenly seems possible when a handsome and mysterious young visitor arrives without warning. The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams’ semi-autobiographical evocation of loneliness and lost love, is one of his most powerful and moving plays; an unforgettable American classic.

Under the direction of Artistic Associate Shannon Rush, this production will feature some of Adelaide’s finest performers including the incomparable Ksenja Logos (The Dictionary of Lost Words and Gaslight) as Amanda and Kathryn (Kitty) Adams (Antigone, Single Asian Female and Welcome to Your New Life) as Laura.

Thanks to State Theatre Company South Australia and Seniors Card, two (2) lucky Seniors Card members have the opportunity to win a double pass valued at $162 each to The Glass Menagerie at Odeon Theatre on Wednesday, 26 November at 1:00pm.
