The Glass Menagerie was Tennessee Williams's first great popular success. It won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and enjoyed a long Broadway run with the incomparable Laurette Taylor in the starring role. Since then it has become one of the most-performed plays in the repertory of American community theaters.

New Directions is proud to make this classic of the modern drama available in its paperbook series, in the reading text which the author prefers. This edition includes also Williams's essay "The Catastrophe of Success," which reveals the effect of sudden fame and wealth on a struggling young writer, and a short section of "Production Notes."
