THE GLASS MENAGERIE
AMANDA WINGFIELD, the mother. A little woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place. Her characterization must be carefully created, not copied from type. She is not paranoiac, but her life is paranoia. There is much to admire in Amanda, and as much to love and
pity as there is to laugh at. Certainly, she has endurance and a kind of heroism, and though her foolishness makes her unwittingly cruel at times, there is tenderness in her slight person.
LAURA WINGFIELD, her daughter. Amanda, having failed to establish contact with reality, continues to live vitally in her illusions, but Laura's situation is even graver. A childhood illness has left her crippled, one leg slightly shorter than the other, and held in a brace. This defect need not be more than suggested on the stage. Stemming from this, Laura's separation increases till she is like a piece of her own glass collection, too exquisitely fragile to move from the shelf.
PRE-CAST - TOM WINGFIELD, her son. And the narrator of the play. A poet with a job in a warehouse His nature is not remorseless, but to escape from a trap he has to act without pity.
PRE-CAST - JIM O'CONNOR (THE GENTLEMAN CALLER) A nice, ordinary, young man. All roles will be understudied.
