«The Glass Menagerie» is the play by American playwright Tennessee Williams published by Heinemann in hardback (112 pages, in English).
Set in St. Louis in 1937, it follows the Wingfield family: Amanda, a Southern mother anchored in the past; Tom, her son, who works in a warehouse and dreams of escaping; and Laura, withdrawn, who takes refuge in her glass figurines. A memory play, it blends recollection and fantasy to explore illusion, family, and escape.
It belongs to the Heinemann Plays For 14-16+ series and includes notes and classroom activities. It premiered in 1944 and won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award in 1945.
Designed for secondary school students and classroom work, with activities that accompany reading and performance.
Thomas Lanier Williams III, known by his pen name Tennessee Williams, was an American playwright and screenwriter. Along with contemporaries Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
