Editorial Reviews

Arthur Miller

"The revolutionary newness of The Glass Menagerie . . . was in its poetic lift, but an underlying hard dramatic structure was what earned the play its right to sing poetically."

Lyle Leverich in Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams

"With the advent of The Glass Menagerie . . . Tennessee Williams emerged as a poet-playwright and a unique new force in theatre throughout the world."

The New York Times

Delicate and perceptive, The Glass Menagerie inhabits a half-world between comedy and tragedy.”
