ABOUT THE PLAY:
Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in St. Louis with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother’s nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother’s anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. Then one day a young man comes to dinner and everything changes – for everyone.

CHARACTER BREAK-DOWN:

AMANDA WINGFIELD – This role has been pre-cast

TOM WINGFIELD – 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 – Amanda’s daughter and Tom’s older sister. Laura has a bad leg, on which she has to wear a brace, and walks with a limp. Twenty-three years old and painfully shy, she has largely withdrawn from the outside world and devotes herself to old records and her collection of glass figurines. She is 20 to 30 years old

JIM O’CONNER – 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. He is unwaveringly devoted to goals of professional achievement and ideals of personal success. He is 20 to 30 years old
