Description:
The drama of the Wingfield family unfolds onstage in the Tennessee Williams memory play that has become an American classic. The strained relationships between the narrator, his sister, and his mother express a deeper conflict between cherished dreams and inescapable reality. Founded in 1809, Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre is the oldest operating theater in the United States, and their 2011 tour celebrates the centennial of the playwright's birth.
Contains strong language and stereotyping.
