The Glass Menagerie

The Glass Menagerie is a memory play by Tennessee Williams that premiered in 1944 and catapulted Williams from obscurity to fame. The play has strong autobiographical elements, featuring characters based on its author, his histrionic mother, and his mentally fragile sister Laura. In writing the play, Williams drew on an earlier short story, as well as a screenplay he had written under the title of The Gentleman Caller. The play premiered in Chicago in 1944. After a shaky start, it was championed by Chicago critics Ashton Stevens and Claudia Cassidy, whose enthusiasm helped build audiences so the producers could move the play to Broadway where it won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award in 1945. The Glass Menagerie was Williams' first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.

In fact, he’s deader than dead, considering he was shot, stabbed, poisoned, clubbed, AND run over by a truck. ’I like things simple,’ says police captain Bogie, but at this point, everyone in Bellamy’s household is now a suspect. Could it be one of his sisters, Dorthella or Darnella? What about his gambling nephew Percy, who takes odds on who’ll be next? Or niece Cherise, who plans her future by the stars? When Bogie says the murderer was stupid, vain nephew Carlton protests by exclaiming, ’I am not!’ While it seems that he walked right into the captain’s trap, the others aren’t off the hook yet, considering there’s now another victim thanks to an exploded landmine. Between an inept ’bomb expert’ who swings her metal detector wildly and a narcoleptic life insurance agent who shares details about Bellamy’s million-dollar policy between naps, there’s no end to the hilarity!
