| Ruth Stage is thrilled to present a chilling new take on Tennessee Williams' seminal play The Glass Menagerie, directed by Austin Pendleton and Peter Bloch. After two critically acclaimed runs in 2018 of Wars of the Roses, directors Austin Pendleton and Peter Bloch reunite with actor Matt de Rogatis to take on the American classic, The Glass Menagerie. In this disquieting production, the tormented Tom (de Rogatis) relives the story of his time in the Wingfields' St. Louis apartment, circa 1939, as if he were remembering it through the lens of a spooky dream. |
