The Glass Menagerie

Tennessee Williams

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

Tom escapes a suffocating home life in 1930’s St Louis through long visits to the movies while his sister, Laura, withdraws into her records and collection of glass animals. But their mother, Amanda, clings to dreams 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 engaging memory play explores the complex web of love and loyalty that binds families together and may, eventually, drive them apart.

This amateur production of The Glass Menagerie is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

The Glass Menagerie is presented by special arrangement with the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, USA.

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today.  Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement. 

Access

When you arrive at the ADC Theatre, there are power assisted doors to the Box Office. In the foyer there is a lift which leads up to the bar and auditorium. The accessible toilet is located on the ground floor across the foyer. Further information can be found here.
