The Glass Menagerie [B]

I really like the underlying play; it's thought provoking and tragic in an intellectual sense while being almost hopeful emotionally. I'm a big Christian Slater fan, but he just didn't quite do it for me here. Nonetheless the show is very worth watching. I overheard an audience member say that one reviewer who didn't like it said something like: "Bad Tennessee Williams is better than no Tennessee Williams," and I would have to agree.
