Taking a Tennessee Williams’ quote as its title, this backstage drama charts the return to the theatre of a veteran actress in what would eventually be a twilight career triumph. Delicately structured between monologue and ensemble playing, it takes us into the inner life of a fragile star and the making of an American classic. McCasland encapsulates the uncertainties, tension and dynamics of the rehearsal process where both actress and playwright eventually merge with their own creation.

McCasland has created a creation myth, about the original production of "The Glass Menagerie", centered on its ageing star, Laurette Taylor, who originated the role of Amanda Wingfield. It is a story of recovery, poetic in its own fashion, as Taylor presents at AA meetings, her stories of personal struggle rival that of Tom, the narrator of the play she is starring in. Williams plays his part as an alcoholic philosopher who inspired his mother figure into sobriety, for her own sake, but really for his, you know? It's fascinating, hopeful, and I highly recommend it.
