August 9-25, 2024
Dukesbay Theater | 508 6th Ave, Tacoma
From the steps of a dingy fire escape in St. Louis, Tom Wingfield looks back into his own past, remembering the mother and sister he left behind. He remembers his mother, Amanda, desperate to claw out a future for Tom, herself, and the devastatingly shy Laura, convincing him to bring home a "gentleman caller" from his hated job at the shoe-factory. Anything to break Laura away from her world of little glass animals. As the gentleman caller arrives, the cracks in their fragile existence begin to widen then shatter as the outside world invades their tense but loving existence.
