"With its heady dose of "truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion," Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie secured the playwright's claim to fame in 1944. The work, flecked with references from Williams' own life, has lost little of its subtle power since then, a power currently being reinforced in a remarkably sensitive production from Rep Stage. Director Michael Stebbins guides his cast astutely through the drama and maintains a potent, underlying tension...pitch-perfect atmosphere."

"An American classic is brought hauntingly to life...The Glass Menagerie is a difficult play to pull off. Fortunately for Rep Stage, director Michael Stebbins hews closely to Williams' meticulous instructions without sacrificing any of the play's mystery. The resulting production has the resonance of a complex and troubling dream...the cast and crew at Rep Stage have pulled a rabbit out of a hat. This is a production that haunts."

“Top Pick! – Captivating. Stirring. Breathtaking. Lyrical…There’s magic in this production…and it has a life of its own that needs to be lived and experienced. The entire cast (and director!) should be applauded for seeking out and building upon the wealth of humor in the play…Here, its marvelous comedy is embraced, and the show is all the stronger for it.

It would be a phenomenal introduction to a masterwork for a theatre newbie, and a completely enthralling and savory production for a diehard fan of the work. Lose yourself in this beguiling piece before it slips away.”

 “…I have finally seen The Glass Menagerie – that official Classic of American Drama – for the first time…due to the magnificent production playing at Rep Stage through March 14.  Stebbins and company…have given this rich, compelling play the production it deserves.”
