About

One of the finest stagings of the Tennessee Williams play that I’ve ever seen.

★★★★ The Telegraph

It is evening. Tom Wingfield is smoking in the alley outside the apartment where he grew up. Through a window, he watches his mother and his sister.

Tonight is one of those nights you remember forever.

Tonight, someone special is coming to dinner. Tonight, there will be a dance. Tonight, you might fall in love. Tonight, everything could change.

This is Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, the American masterpiece about staying and about leaving, directed by Artistic Director Jay Miller (★★★★★ The Flea, ★★★★★ The Crucible, ★★★★★ This Beautiful Future)—in The Yard's current home before its transformation into something new.

Presented by special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.

With special thanks to our production circle, Mike Anderson, Fiona Clements, Good Wolf People, Rodney Schwartz, Simon Tate, Carolyn Ward and those who wish to remain anonymous. For information on joining our circle, email claire@theyardtheatre.co.uk.
