Following on from our sold out run of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”, Strathclyde Theatre Group proudly invites you to witness our next production “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams.
Using the latest technology, historical research of the period as well as the diaries of the playwright himself, this staging of Williams’ first major success on Broadway aims to combine heartfelt performances with live music, projections, unique set and lighting design to further emphasize the expressionism and real emotion contained within Tennessee Williams original production notes.
This will create an evening where we aim to transport our audiences into the world of the “Memory Play” that the playwright intended. We hope you will join us for the ride.
The Cottier Theatre, Glasgow from Tuesday February 7, 2012, until Saturday February 11, 2012. More info: http://www.thecottier.com/theatre.html
