    One of the most haunting plays of the American theatre paints an intimate portrait of broken dreams. Tom Wingfield's deeply personal journey into his memories recalls his family's desperation to break free from past and present burdens. Tom's delusional mother has been abandoned by her husband, and now lives only for her children. His unmarried sister is a painfully shy creature who retreats into a world of glass animals, and Tom himself is torn between his poetic inclinations and the responsibility of supporting his mother and sister. Nothing is more fragile than family as each escapes into their own "glass menagerie" as a means of eluding the pain of their own - and each other's - existence.
