Roles

There are four roles in The Glass Menagerie.

Amanda Wingfield (50+): Strong, fiercely loves her adult children but worries what will happen to them when she is gone. Laura and Tom’s mother. A proud, vivacious woman, Amanda cherishes memories of a vanished, genteel past.

Tom Wingfield (20s): Amanda’s son and Laura’s younger brother. An aspiring poet, Tom works at a shoe warehouse to support the family. He is frustrated by the numbing routine of his job and escapes from it through movies, literature, and alcohol.

Laura Wingfield (20s): Amanda’s daughter and Tom’s older sister. Laura has a bad leg and may walk with a slight limp. In her early 20s, she is painfully shy and has largely withdrawn from the outside world and devotes herself to old records and her collection of glass figurines.

Jim O’Connor (20s) An old acquaintance of Tom and Laura. Jim was a popular athlete in high school and is now a shipping clerk at the shoe warehouse in which Tom works. While not the dreamer that the Wingfields are, Jim is unwaveringly devoted to goals of professional achievement and ideals of personal success.
