SYNOPSIS:

The play is introduced to the audience by Tom, the narrator and protagonist, it is a memory play based on his recollection of his mother Amanda and his sister Laura. The play is set in the 1940's in St Louis , USA. Amanda (the mother) is a faded southern belle of middle age (45 yrs to 50 yrs) shares an apartment with her son (in his 20's) and slightly older sister Laura (mid 20's). Amanda yearns for the comforts and admiration she remembers from her days as a feted debutante. She worries about the future of her daughter, with a limp caused by Polio. She pressures Tom to find a suitable suitor for his sister Laura. She insists on him finding a suitable "male caller" for Laura . The male caller is in his 20's. The Glass Menagerie is a play that is very important to modern literature. Tennessee Williams describes four separate characters , their dreams, and the harsh realities they faced. The story is about a loving family that is constantly in conflict.
