July 4 2023 Review: The Glass Menagerie Based in the 1930s, THE GLASS MENAGERIE premiered in 1944 and turned Williams into a famous playwright. The story, taken from the memory of the Narrator (Kevin Day), is set in an apartment in St. Louis where The Wingfields – Amanda (Stacy Breshears), Tom (Levi Wilson) and Laura (Alitza Cabibi-Wilkin) – play out their melancholy lives. The mother Amanda had been abandoned by her children’s father and pines for the days when she was young and had plenty of gentlemen callers. Tom works at a shoe factory but wishes to be a writer. Laura has a limp from having pleurosis and has let that socially handicap her to where she likes to retreat to her glass collection that her mom calls THE GLASS MENAGERIE. https://www.broadwayworld.com/little-rock/article/Review-THE-GLASS-MENAGERIE-at-The-Pocket-Community-Theatre-20230608
