The Glass Menagerie 7

The Glass Menagerie 7

Based on "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams

After being abandoned by her husband, Amira, a single mother, lives with her two teenage children in Be'er Sheva of the late seventies, barely making a living from odd jobs. She struggles to maintain the dignity of her small family and tries to instill a zest for life in her children.

However, Ron, who works at a factory, escapes to the movie theater at every opportunity to find solace. His sister, Laura, who suffers from a leg deformity, withdraws from the world, sailing through imaginations related to her collection of small glass animals—her "Glass Menagerie."

When ron brings a co-worker home for dinner, the family projects all their hidden dreams onto him. Ultimately, however, he leaves them disappointed, trapping them once again in their illusions.

A moving poetic drama about the illusion of freedom, the illusion of love, and our roots and memories. This is one of the most beloved and performed plays by Tennessee Williams—one of the most important playwrights of all time—presented in a unique Be'er Sheva adaptation that casts a new and original light on this classic work.
