OBSERVER: Glass Menagerie
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams will be presented by Running With Scissors Theatre and Victory People Productions from July 24 to August 2 at the Meat Market Stables, North Melbourne.
Co-directed and produced by Nicholas Reynolds and Nadia Sirninger Rankin, the play is narrated by Tom Wingfield. The story unfolds as he recalls life with his mother, Amanda and sister, Laura, in their cramped tenement apartment during the midst of the Great Depression.

This boutique production of The Glass Menagerie seeks to present a nuanced and resonant interpretation of Tennessee Williams’ classic, honoring its dreamlike essence while embracing fresh perspectives.
The cast includes Oliver Gorringe (Tom Wingfield), Linda Cookson (Amanda Wingfield), Caitlin McCallig (Laura Wingfield) and Columbus Lane (Jim O’Connor).
Venue: Meat Market Stables, North Melbourne.
Dates: July 24, 25, 26, 31, August 1 at 7.30pm; July 27, August 2 at 2pm.
