The Glass Menagerie extends run by two weeks

The Roundabout Theatre Company has announced a two week extension of Tennessee Williams' play The Glass Menagerie now playing through to 13 Jun 2010.

The Glass Menagerie opened at Off-Broadway's Laura Pels Theatre on 24 Mar 2010, following previews from 5 Mar and was originally scheduled to close on 30 May 2010.

The Glass Menagerie, presented in association with Long Wharf Theatre, is directed by Gordon Edelstein and features Patch Darragh (Tom Wingfield), two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey (Amanda Wingfield), Keira Keeley (Laura Wingfield) and Michael Mosley (Jim O'Connor).

The Glass Menagerie: Tom Wingfield sits writing in a hotel room, trying to forge his past into art. Soon Tom's space is overtaken by the cramped apartment he once shared with his mother Amanda, his beloved sister Laura and unrequited dreams as fragile as Laura's collection of tiny glass animals. There, Tom relives the Gentleman Caller's visit - the night that changed his family forever.

The design team includes Michael Yeargan (Sets), Martin Pakledinaz (Costumes), Jennifer Tipton (Lights) and David Budries (Sound).
