Did Not Like Menagerie


One piece that I did not enjoy in the least was The Glass Menagerie. To me the piece was dry and unappealing, dragging on for far too long and really achieving nothing. While yes, Laura does meet the man she loves, she is too late and he is marrying another woman. While yes, her brother cares about them, he will not stay, just as his father didn't stay. Their mother is self centered and does not change, and their family fights and falls apart. To me there is little to be gained, and little to enjoy, so presumably this is not something I would recommend to a friend.
