Mendocino Theatre Company tackles dreams, regret and family in “The Glass Menagerie” 

MENDOCINO CO., 4/27/25 – Fragility, regret, family and lost dreams are the themes that will be explored in the Mendocino Theatre Company’s production of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” opening Friday in Mendocino.  

In the semi-autobiographical play, Williams tells the story of the Wingfield family and their daily life following the Great Depression. Characters include Amanda, the Southern belle mother with an addictive and romantic personality disorder; the traumatized and anxious daughter Laura; and Tom, the son who thrives on escapism and a longing to leave his home behind, the latter a representation of the playwright.
