The Glass Menagerie Tickets at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre

Atri Banerjee’s acclaimed production of Tennessee Williams’ heart-rending masterpiece, first seen at the Royal Exchange Theatre, plays at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre this Spring.

The show stars BAFTA nominee Geraldine Somerville (Cracker, Gosford Park, Harry Potter films) reprising her acclaimed portrayal of Amanda Wingfield.

A poetic portrayal of a family on the brink of change, this intimate and intense memory play explores the complex web of love and loyalty that binds families together.

The Glass Menagerie is playing at the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London from 22 May to 1 June 2024.

Tom escapes a suffocating home life through cigarettes and long visits to the movies while his sister, Laura, withdraws into her records and collection of glass animals.

But their mother, Amanda, harbours dreams for them far beyond their shabby apartment. When Tom brings home a potential suitor for Laura, Amanda seizes the opportunity to try and change their fortunes forever.
