The Glass Menagerie is a play by Tennessee Williams. The play premiered in Chicago on December 26, 1944, and in 1945 won the prestigious New York Drama Critics Circle Award. The Glass Menagerie was Williams's first highly successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly-regarded playwrights.//The play is set in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, and deals with the troubled relationship between an aging mother, Amanda Wingfield, and her painfully shy daughter Laura Wingfield, as told by the son and brother, Tom Wingfield, who is supposedly recalling events from his memory. He states that the play is not completely realistic, because "memory takes much poetic license." In this "memory play", the time scheme moves freely between the past (the 1930s) and the present (1944-1945).Amanda is fixated on her idealized version of her Southern childhood, recalling days when as many as seventeen gentleman callers would visit her. She is, however, grimly aware of her current reality. Her husband, described as a "telephone man who fell in love with long distance," abandoned the family when Tom and Laura were children. Amanda has since made a meager living working in a department store and selling magazine subscriptions. Laura has a slight physical handicap: she wore a brace in high school, and has a slight limp now. She has become cripplingly shy as a result. The outside world frightens her. She prefers the comfort of her collection of glass animals and the sounds of her father's old victrola records. Although Tom provides financial support working long hours in a shoe warehouse (a job he hates), Amanda sees Tom as a "selfish dreamer" who irresponsibly retreats into movies, alcohol, and novels instead of doing more to provide for the family.Amanda soon discovers that Laura, instead of attending business college, dropped out after a few days. Sensing her mother's disappointment, Laura explains that she was frightened and embarrassed, becoming physically ill at her first typing test. Her hopes of Laura's employment dashed, Amanda resolves to find a suitable companion for Laura, fearing that she will become like the "barely tolerated spinsters" she recalls from her past. Laura is less enthusiastic, but nevertheless mentions a boy she liked in high school, named Jim
