THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams to tour in Spring 2024

Atri Banerjee’s acclaimed production of Tenessee Williams’ semi-autobiographical masterpiece, The Glass Menagerie, first seen at the Royal Exchange Theatre, embarks on a UK tour in Spring 2024.

The Glass Menagerie will open at the Rose Theatre Kingston on 17 April 2024 before touring to Bristol Old Vic and the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry before arriving at Alexandra Palace where the tour ends. 

Tom escapes a suffocating home life through cigarettes and long visits to the movies while his sister, Laura, withdraws into her records and collection of glass animals. Their mother, Amanda, harbours dreams for them far beyond their shabby apartment. When Tom brings home a potential suitor for Laura, Amanda seizes the opportunity to try and change their fortunes forever. 

The Glass Menagerie is a poetic portrayal of a family on the brink of change. This intimate and intense memory play explores the complex web of love and loyalty that binds families together in a spellbinding production.
