#TennesseeWilliams #TheGlassMenagerie at #Manchester #RoyalExchangeTheatre in September.

Incredibly powerful and vivid play, specially produced for the 'in the round' stage layout.

I've never seen the play before, so it was all new, but I went specifically to watch an actor I'm acquainted with #RhiannonClements who played the role of the sister, Laura. She, and the rest of the cast were amazing!

Sometimes you need to depend on the kindness of strangers. #TennesseeWilliams career radically changed when he received a $1,000 Rockefeller scholarship in 1939. Continued small grants early in his career enabled Williams to write plays like #TheGlassMenagerie

This check stub for one of the scholarship payments can be found in the Tennessee Williams Collection at the Harry Ransom Center: https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/guides/TennesseeWilliams
