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.

Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle you are equipped with the basic means of salvation. 正中靶心啊！
评分流光几可采
评分#家庭责任的互相捆绑和隔绝显示的玻璃还有逃离的欲望# 既然算是田纳西自己的故事 总觉得tom比写到的还要复杂 或者我可能原本是更期待另一种叙说方式的 寻求精神世界庇护却因为虚无的庇护而感到疲惫 最后逃离却又附着上回忆的重担 还有包围着laura的那圈玻璃球的碎裂(which was a bit of..ugh) 到最后谁也不能够真正逃脱。。。反正就是好想看演出来啊 括号里的场景描写太美了 对bob crowley的舞台设计好期待
评分Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle you are equipped with the basic means of salvation. 正中靶心啊！
评分也许每个人都会有那么一段Amanda一样的时光，躲在某段记忆里以为那就是一生。
