Premiering in Chicago, in 1944, The Glass Menagerie went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945. It was the play that launched Tennessee Williams into fame and, along with its follow up, Streetcar Named Desire, rightly established Williams’ reputation as one of the greatest American playwrights of all time. A work with strong autobiographical influences, but then again, it was of Tennessee Williams that Elia Kazan said: “Everything in his life is in his plays, and everything in his plays is in his life”…
