Press Release - Chicago
The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Redtwist Literary Manager, Josh Altman
Opens Saturday, July 28, at 3pm
Company member and Jeff Award-winner, Jacqueline Grandt, plays Amanda
in Tennessee Williams’ most intimate play, up close and personal at Redtwist
THE PLAY
In Williams’ deeply personal—and autobiographical—memory play, Tom
Wingfield reveals to us a critical moment in his family’s life. Brimming
with false hope and desperation, this vivid and penetrating drama
explores the disguise of illusion and a family’s struggle to survive.
Redtwist approaches this American masterpiece from the unique
perspective of its explosive storefront space to re-examine the dark
secrets of a young man’s family, the debris from which emerged the
legendary American playwright.
