A review by aliceboule
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
3.0
"But here there as only hot swing music and liquor, dance halls, bars and movies, and sex that hung in the gloom like a chandelier and flooded the world with brief deceptive rainbows."
Williams' play is gritty and dark, sensual without sex, and sad, terribly so. But it is real. Laura and her glass menagerie is an escape from reality -- a fragile and ephemeral escape.
I really enjoyed reading this; it was my first Tennessee Williams work and I do believe I will find more to read.
