Tom's Memories

"The Glass Menagerie" is one of the most famous plays in American history. This directorial concept/ scenic design forgo the traditional box set and move into a more fragmented world of memory and heightened emotion. Memories are often more suggestive than concrete, particularly as they recede into the past.

During Tom’s initial monologue, projections feature the claustrophobic fire escapes as they frame the apartment and represent Tom’s feelings of entrapment.

Amanda Reminiscing

Throughout the show, the projections communicated camera angles that the audience may not have seen otherwise. This allowed opportunities to create closeness and intimacy within the memories, in spite of the depth of the theatre auditorium.

Examples pictured here are Amanda reminiscing with an armful of jonquils and Amanda at her "mirror" which was represented with a box of light on the "4th wall" of the apartment.
