The Glass Menagerie presented by The Everyman
Cork City, Co. Cork
2 August - 26 August 2023
The Everyman presents The Glass Menagerie this August, which will be directed by Emma Jordan (The New Electric Ballroom). This incredible play propelled Tennessee Williams from obscurity to fame in 1944.

An unremarkable apartment, 1930’s St. Louis, Missouri.

Amanda, a force to be reckoned with despite how she might appear, clings to the romance of her past whilst ardently aspiring to a better future for her children. Her daughter Laura, left fragile by a childhood illness, shies away from the outside world, and dedicates herself to her glass menagerie; whilst her son Tom, a poet and the play’s narrator, longs to escape his warehouse job and the suffocation of his existence.

Hope delivered in the arrival of a “gentleman caller” is inevitably shattered, but memories are not so easily demolished.

This incredible play propelled Tennessee Williams from obscurity to fame in 1944. This production will be directed by the acclaimed Emma Jordan.
