The Glass Menagerie

In this adaptation of Tennessee Williams's 1944 play, a celebrated exemplar of familial drama, the tragic Wingfields live on the fine line between fantasy and reality in their Depression-era St. Louis apartment. As young Tom (John Malkovich) yearns to escape the household and pursue his dreams of writing, strong-willed matriarch Amanda (Joanne Woodward) attempts to impose her shattered dreams into the life of her shy, reclusive daughter, Laura (Karen Allen).
