The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
5.0
Williams is an incredible dramatist, and though this play to me wasn’t as poignant as A Streetcar Named Desire, its symbolism, staging, beautiful stage directions, and characterisation— borrowing from Beckett’s Godot somewhat in Jim?— allowed for a beautiful foregrounding to his dramatic exploration of the relationships and dependencies between women and men in a patriarchal society. Maybe that’s the study I am doing on feminist literary theory talking, but either way, I liked it and imagine Laura will stay in my mind as she stayed in Tom’s.
