## Description

No play in the modern theatre has so captured the imagination and heart of the American public as Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie . Menagerie was Williams's first popular success and launched the brilliant, if somewhat controversial, career of our pre-eminent lyric playwright. Since its premiere in Chicago in 1944, with the legendary Laurette Taylor in the role of Amanda, the play has been the bravura piece for great actresses from Jessica Tandy to Joanne Woodward, and is studied and performed in classrooms and theatres around the world. The Glass Menagerie (in the reading text the author preferred) is now available only in its New Directions Paperbook edition. A new introduction by prominent Williams scholar Robert Bray, editor of The Tennessee Williams Annual Review , reappraises the play more than half a century after it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award: "More than fifty years after telling his story of a family whose lives form a triangle of quiet desperation, Williams's mellifluous voice still resonates deeply and universally." This edition of The Glass Menagerie also includes Williams's essay on the impact of sudden fame on a struggling writer, "The Catastrophe of Success," as well as a short section of Williams's own "Production Notes." The cover features the classic line drawing by Alvin Lustig, originally done for the 1949 New Directions edition.

Great All Good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A sort of tragedy
*by G***H on February 5, 2017*

from the perspective of a somewhat successful female in the modern age, there were so many social observations in this play. A mother who relied on her husband to be the provider, as was the absolute rule of the time, seemingly abandoned. left in the wake, a son who must now bear the burden, and begrudgingly so. No wonder women developed a reputation for being gold diggers, and no wonder men have become so mistrustful of women. Williams seems to be a bit preoccupied with this theme so I can't help but wonder about the manipulative women he may have had in his life. it was a somber read, and well written. There is an interesting back-story about how it was awarded the Pulitzer. This kindle edition included a phenomenal essay at the end written by Tennessee Williams about the effects of success and the importance of having struggle in life. I will probably reread the essay a hundred times!
