After two decades, Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie makes its highly anticipated return to Melbourne Theatre Company.

Celebrated stage and screen actor Alison Whyte takes on one of the most iconic roles in theatre: Amanda Wingfield, the heartbreakingly hopeful mother. She is joined by Millie Donaldson, Tim Draxl and Harry McGee in this poetic portrait of a languishing family.

A story of fragile dreams and the illusions we cling to, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most beloved works in the theatrical canon. Directed by Mark Wilson, this sharp new production breathes fresh life into a timeless masterpiece.
