Tom Wingfield looks back on the cramped St. Louis apartment where he once lived with his overbearing mother Amanda and his painfully shy sister Laura, whose collection of tiny glass animals is the only world where she feels safe.
This new production by Frantic Assembly associate director Leah Mitchell brings the company's signature physical theatre vocabulary to Williams' most personal play. The result is a production that moves like a dream — or a memory — where the boundaries between past and present dissolve before your eyes.
Performed in the round in Northfield's Studio space, audiences are just feet away from the Wingfield family as their fragile world begins to crack. With outstanding performances from Emma Fielding as Amanda and newcomer Jake Ferretti as Tom, this is intimate theatre at its most powerful.
The Studio's 200-seat configuration creates an unforgettable theatrical experience. Early booking is strongly recommended.
