This rendition of The Glass Menagerie follows the multiple mass moves in immigration to Australia during the twentieth century – exploring the ‘ethnic other’ in the Anglosphere, and the aftermath of having settled down in a host country for several years. Amanda, an overbearing, histrionic mother, attempts to control the lives of her children and fulfil her dreams through them. Her eldest, Tom, has other plans, wanting to separate from his family and realise his identity on his own terms. Laura, Tom’s sister, is subjugated to pressures from both sides as they battle out the future of their small, displaced family. The entrance of a ‘gentleman caller’, Jim O’Connor, acts as a trigger point for the family’s downfall. Ultimately, Williams tells a story of intergenerational trauma, untouched desires, and the versions of self-existing.
