Amy Adams to make West End debut in THE GLASS MENAGERIE

Hollywood star and Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Adams will make her West End debut in a revival of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 23 May 2022.

Adams will play Amanda Wingfield in the new production, alongside Paul Hilton and Tom Glynn-Carney (who share the role of Tom at different stages of his life), and Lizzie Annis and Victor Alli.

Amy Adams says: “I am so honored and excited to be a part of bringing The Glass Menagerie to the stage in the West End! I have always felt a strong pull towards the work of Tennessee Williams and to this deeply personal story. I am so grateful to be working with the brilliant Jeremy Herrin and with all of the talented cast and creative team. I look forward to the shared experience of theater. See you in 2022!”

Amanda Wingfield is a Southern belle past her prime, living with two grown children in a small apartment in St. Louis. Amanda dreams of a better life for her shy and crippled daughter Laura, and so she pushes her son, Tom, to find a "gentleman caller" for the girl. However, the arrival of the gentleman caller sends shockwaves through the family and causes cracks to form in the delicate fantasies that have kept them going.

The production will feature set design by Vicki Mortimer, lighting by Paule Constable, video by Ash J Woodward and direction by Jeremy Herrin.
