The Glass Menagerie

Cafe Nordo
109 S Main Street Seattle

Brimming with poetic language and emotional longing, Tennessee Williams' memory play The Glass Menagerie is rightly considered a true classic, a work that's lost none of its power over the generations. Join Amanda Wingfield and the rest of The Glass Menagerie cast for a three-course meal of home-cooked, locally sourced, Southern hospitality and a specialty cocktail inspired by the play. Set in a Depression-era St. Louis tenement, aspiring poet Tom struggles with a mind-numbing job and a smothering home life. His overbearing mother, a former Southern belle, constantly pushes her son to bring home "gentleman callers" for his painfully shy sister Laura, whose collection of glass animals means everything to her. But when Tom finally does produce a male visitor, the guest's presence sends shock waves through the family -- and the fragile fantasy world they've built may be irreparably shattered. This reimagining of Williams' haunting family drama is a co-production between The Williams Project and Seattle's Café Nordo.
