Roundabout presents the new interpretation of the classic in association with Long Wharf Theatre, which produced the piece in 2009 under the direction Gordon Edelstein.
Edelstein directed the Off-Broadway cast that features Tony Award winner Judith Ivey (Park Your Car In Harvard Yard, Hurlyburly, Steaming), Keira Keeley, Patch Darragh and Michael Mosley ("Scrubs").
Roundabout characterizes its Glass Menagerie this way: "In this fresh interpretation of Williams' haunting memory play, Tom Wingfield (Darragh) sits writing in a hotel room, trying to forge his past into art. Soon Tom's space is overtaken by the cramped apartment he once shared with his mother Amanda (Ivey), his beloved sister Laura (Keeley) and unrequited dreams as fragile as Laura's collection of tiny glass animals. There, Tom relives the Gentleman Caller's (Mosley) visit — the night that changed his family forever."
