The Glass Menagerie

[low_delta]

Saw it for the first time tonight. One my least favorite plays!

The first act was a combination of dull and annoying. The mother is an annoying harpy. Her son is strong, and tries halfheartedly to fight it until he can leave, and the daughter is weak and can only take it.

The second half shows a gentleman caller interested in the shy and anxious daughter.

The ending is even bleaker than the rest of the play.

We subscribe, so we get five plays per year. We only skip them if we're sure we don't want to see them, which never happens. I knew nothing about this play, except that it was a classic.
