Glass is a two character play that takes place on December 26, 1944 on the opening night of The Glass Menagerie. It’s two hours before the first performance and Tennessee Williams waits in the dressing room of the star of the play, Laurette Taylor. Miss Taylor’s reputation for drinking and destructive behavior has filled the playwright with fear that she will ruin what he considers his last chance as a playwright. The play is a confrontation between the two figures. It’s a battle of a woman struggling to regain her glory and a playwright desperate to gain a foothold in the theatre world. The play explores the role of truth and the power of theatre to heal two wounded souls.
