«The Glass Menagerie» is the play by Tennessee Williams, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Amanda Wingfield, abandoned by her husband, clings to the memory of a youth full of suitors while trying to support her children: Tom, a warehouse employee who longs to escape, and Laura, a withdrawn young woman who takes refuge in her collection of glass animals. It is a play about memory, fragility, and the need to flee.
Originally published in 1945, it received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for best American play. This edition is part of the Penguin Modern Classics collection.
Frequent reading in high schools and universities, for those who want to discover classic American theatre and the dramaturgy of Tennessee Williams.
