The Glass Menagerie

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.
