The Glass Menagerie

So many people want to dislike this play because it is so well known. Colleges and High Schools are known to always to do this play. But it is a sensitive piece of work and is a great piece to preform. Laura's character is so self- conscious and fragile in contrast to her boasterous and out going ex-southern belle mother. This is also interesting because it is actually based upon Tennesse William's family situation. The Charracters are well developed, interesting and natural dialogue and the plot is very interesting.

And so it was I entered the broken world...

5 Stars -- for being the worst book I ever read!

intriguing and disturbing.

One of the classics of our time. Perhaps the most thought provoking play I have ever encountered.
