The Glass Menagerie


 

The Glass Menagerie is a play by Tennessee Williams. The play premiered in Chicago on December 26, 1944, and in 1945 won the prestigious New York Drama Critics Circle Award. The Glass Menagerie was Williams' first highly successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly-regarded playwrights.

Parodies

The Glass Menagerie was parodied by Christopher Durang in a short one-act entitled For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, in which gender roles are switched, and a very butch sister is overprotective of her wimpy, pathetic brother.
