No play in the modern theatre has so captured the imagination and heart of the American public as Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. Menagerie was Williams's first popular success and launched the brilliant, if somewhat controversial, career of our pre-eminent lyric playwright. Since its premiere in Chicago in 1944, with the legendary Laurette Taylor in the role of Amanda, the play has been the bravura piece for great actresses from Jessica Tandy to Joanne Woodward, and is studied and performed in classrooms and theatres around the world. The Glass Menagerie (in the reading text the author preferred) is now available only in its New Directions Paperbook edition. A new introduction by prominent Williams scholar Robert Bray, editor of The Tennessee Williams Annual Review, reappraises the play more than half a century after it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award: "More than fifty years after telling his story of a family whose lives form a triangle of quiet desperation, Williams's mellifluous voice still resonates deeply and universally." This edition of The Glass Menagerie also includes Williams's essay on the impact of sudden fame on a struggling writer, "The Catastrophe of Success," as well as a short section of Williams's own "Production Notes." The cover features the classic line drawing by Alvin Lustig, originally done for the 1949 New Directions edition.

艺术家是不是都要面对这样的内心拷问?是追求梦想还是承担责任?身处两难的境地,该如何抉择?自卑情结也是这部剧的主题之一,还有人对美好过去的留恋如何让我们无法看清现实,沉溺于逝去的好日子里只能让人更绝望。-2013.5.27走还是不走?这是个问题。家庭究竟是港湾还是负荷?

作者首创Plastic Theatre的理念,用音乐、灯光、道具等设计辅助叙事、营造氛围、强化焦点、表达情感。其后应该成为现代戏剧的普遍做法了吧。演员同时作为narrator和player的间离式演出同样也为后世不断效仿,Williams真是了不起的戏剧家。如作者所言,这部戏的表达相较于Streetcar、Cat要直白许多,对白几乎没有任何比喻或修饰,直抒胸臆,母亲Amanda的焦虑紧张、控制欲、... 作者首创Plastic Theatre的理念,用音乐、灯光、道具等设计辅助叙事、营造氛围、强化焦点、表达情感。其后应该成为现代戏剧的普遍做法了吧。演员同时作为narrator和player的间离式演出同样也为后世不断效仿,Williams真是了不起的戏剧家。如作者所言,这部戏的表达相较于Streetcar、Cat要直白许多,对白几乎没有任何比喻或修饰,直抒胸臆,母亲Amanda的焦虑紧张、控制欲、自恋、不安、谄媚一览无余,活脱脱一个被传统价值观塑形的大家长,对稳定有变态的追求。丈夫出逃后更为激烈,因此偏执地掌控摆布儿女的生活,避免他们重蹈丈夫之覆辙。躲在家中无法出门,厌恶与人交往,热情倾注于玻璃玩具的Laura让我很有共鸣。社会的发展要求和人作为独立个体的发展需求永远存在无法调和的矛盾。 (展开)

田纳西威廉斯写的美国的剧本,真的就是同妻的悲惨一生。。消失的丈夫,没有男子气概的长子,深柜的女儿,也是美式核心家庭的另一面吧,彩云易散琉璃脆,描绘出一个逃避主义的美国南方的梦境与哀歌,应该反逃避吗?
