Menagerie was Williams's first popular success and launched the
brilliant, if somewhat controversial, career of our pre-eminent
lyric playwright. Since its premiere in Chicago in 1944, with the
legendary Laurette Taylor in the role of Amanda, the play has been
the bravura piece for great actresses from Jessica Tandy to Joanne
Woodward, and is studied and performed in classrooms and theatres
around the world. The Glass Menagerie (in the reading text the
author preferred) is now available only in its New Directions
Paperbook edition. A new introduction by prominent Williams scholar
Robert Bray, editor of The Tennessee Williams Annual Review,
reappraises the play more than half a century after it won the New
York Drama Critics Circle Award: "More than fifty years after
telling his story of a family whose lives form a triangle of quiet
desperation, Williams's mellifluous voice still resonates deeply
and universally." This edition of The Glass Menagerie also includes
Williams's essay on the impact of sudden fame on a struggling
writer, "The Catastrophe of Success," as well as a short section of
Williams's own "Production Notes." The cover features the classic
line drawing by Alvin Lustig, originally done for the 1949 New
Directions edition.
