London: The cast has been announced for the upcoming West End production of The Glass Menagerie. Joining Jessica Lange will be:
Ed Stoppard as Tom
Amanda Hale as Laura
Mark Umbers as the Gentleman Caller
This West End production will begin previews at the Apollo Theatre on January 31, 2007 and officially open on February 13th for a limited run through May 19th. Rupert Goold will direct.
The Glass Menagerie tells the story of a St. Louis family struggling to cope with the harsh realities of the Great Depression and the bitter memories that haunt them. Revealed in flashback, the play follows the lives of shoe factory worker Tom, torn between his role as the family breadwinner and the desire to lead a life of his own. His abrasive mother, Amanda, once a Southern socialite, tries to maintain her dignity amidst the gloom of the tenement, and secure a future for her painfully shy daughter, Laura, who has retreated to an imaginary world caring for her collection of glass animals.
