Duke of York Theatre: The Glass Menagerie by Tennesse Williams (until 29 April)

Olivier and Tony Award-winner John Tiffany brings his highly acclaimed Broadway production of The Glass Menagerie to the West End in 2017. Tennessee Williams intense and heart-rending look at family life tells the story of domineering mother and former Southern Belle Amanda Wingfield, her writer son Tom and her recluse daughter Laura. Desperate to find the withdrawn Laura a husband, Amanda cajoles her son into bringing home a gentleman caller. Starring Broadway superstar Cherry Jones as Amanda, Michael Esper as Tom, Kate OFlynn as Laura and Brian J. Smith as the much-anticipated gentleman caller, The Glass Menagerie comes to London with a sensational, multi-award-winning creative team. Lauded for its psychological detail, its emotional power and its stylish evocation of 1930s St Louis, critics have hailed Tiffanys production of this classic American play, calling it theatre magic. The Glass Menagerie runs at the Duke of Yorks Theatre for just 13 weeks. This five-star production is not to be missed. Book your tickets today! 'John Tiffany's stunning production. Be prepared to have the breath knocked out of you' - New York Times 'John Tiffany conjures up theatrical magic' - The Daily Telegraph 'An acute, lacerating, tender look at a family that has gone wrong' - The Times 'A triumphant take on Tennessee Williams. Packed with intense psychological detail.'- The Guardian
