This is a lovely, contemplative little play. It has some great imagery involved, and the characters are fully realized people full of hope, desperation, and flaws. It's my first Tennessee Williams. I wasn't completely blown away, but I am looking forward to A Streetcar Named Desire. (In case you want fair warning: Amanda, the mom, has a couple of racist remarks against a couple of different minority groups.) #RoryGilmoreChallenge

A memory play that was well written, well played and yet the plot wasn‘t as ... I dunno, maybe my expectation was higher due to all the rave reviews 😅 It‘s a good read nevertheless.

Here‘s my take on #bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks ! I can‘t decide which books to fill up the boxes with, I‘ve decided to place alphabets instead! I‘ll pick the books with the author‘s first name based on the alphabet where the numbers are in. January‘s numbers were 20 and 4 so it‘s T and D! I did drill it down further to type based on another challenge. So that‘s how I‘ve ended up with Tennessee Williams‘ The Glass Menagerie 🤞🏻

The image of Laura visiting the penguins has always stuck with me. Maybe because I‘d probably do the same thing in her place if I could. 🐧 🐧🐧

I'll call this a Pick because I found the autobiographical elements made the play even more compelling. I was a bit lost when it came to classifying this as a memory play, but overall it worked well even on paper. With the right cast, though, it could be electric on stage.

Sungirl79 @CoffeeNBooks They are so good!! I look forward to fall for their pumpkin beer. I live a ferry ride away from Seattle where they are based out of and go to their brewery. Nothing like fresh beer from the tap ! ❤️🍺 6y
CoffeeNBooks @Sungirl79 I'll have to see if my grocery store gets any pumpkin beer, and if so I'll try it. 🎃 And yes, fresh beer from the tap is always better!! 🍺 6y

My absolute favorite role I‘ve ever played: Laura Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. An absolutely exquisite play by a truly brilliant author- the stage directions read just as beautifully as the actual dialogue. #Tennesseewilliams

TheBookStacker I love Williams but I‘m more partial to 6y
KatieanneF @TheBookStacker another great one! I‘d love to play Maggie one day 😍😍. His plays have such tactile emotions and such lovely words 6y

KatieCarpenter Laura is a dream role! 6y
KatieanneF @KatieCarpenter it was a dream to get to play her, truly. I felt very spoiled for the whole ride 6y
KatieCarpenter @KatieanneF that‘s so wonderful though. I‘m so glad you got to! One of my favorite characters written for the stage. :) how long have you been doing theatre for? Also similar names and you like the stage? Immediately friends! ;) (edited) 6y
CarolynM What a fabulous experience! It is a wonderful part in a wonderful play. But I have to say I agree with @TheBookStacker Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is my favourite and if I were an actor I'd kill to play Maggie! 6y
KatieanneF @KatieCarpenter yes!! ☺️☺️☺️ I‘ve been acting since I was in high school (I‘m 29 now). Do you perform too? 6y
KatieCarpenter @KatieanneF yes! Mostly in the community theatre here. I started heavily performing after I was finished with college. :) my most recent show was Blithe Spirit. I was Elvira :) 6y

KatieCarpenter One of my favorite plays of all time. Laura is one of my favorite characters written for the stage. I just connect with her so deeply. 6y
TK-421 I love this play & really need to reread it. I remember Laura being the one I felt a connection to when I first read it in high school but later, it was Tom who really struck a chord with me. I wonder how I will feel about the characters now? 6y

Saw many beautiful #roses at the NY botanical gardens yesterday for Memorial Day like the one pictured, though I'm not sure if any were 'blue roses', as the Laura's 'gentleman caller' mistakenly hears her refer to her pleurosis, in a touching scene of the tagged play. #getmovin @eanderson @Cinfhen

Cathythoughts Ahhhhh 💙 7y

This book is a play, with autobiographical aspects which features characters based on Williams himself, his mother, and his mentally fragile sister Rose. #nuyear #weareglass

Thoroughly enjoyable but even more so once you get the perspective of reading his essay “The catastrophe of Success” at the end which gives it a very raw enigmatic draw like no other especially since The Menagerie itself is semi autobiographical
