Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.
##在此劇中,所有人都在用自己的方式逃避現實。在這部關於迴憶的劇中所有的希望都會落空。Tom他自顧不暇,身為詩人卻在工廠工作,每晚通過看電影獲取“冒險經曆”。母親對他有超齣他願望和能力的期盼,而他幫不瞭妹妹,幫不瞭自己,最後隻能齣走。看到這隻想大哭一場。
##上劇場圍讀劇本初體驗。錶演藝術還是需要錶演,不能扶貧……
##瑕不掩瑜的美麗——ending speech oh our sweet, sweet Laura. Williams描寫氣氛的確是一絕。娃娃屋八音盒鏇轉木馬一樣的泡影迴憶。雖然對於寫作動機有點感到怪怪的、結尾的extra essay catastrophe of success讓我感到好不對勁、不清楚(可能半夜讀完腦子沒有proper functioning)但不管怎麼說隻要能讓我掉眼淚
##一般,遠遠比不上讀的上兩本田納西精彩,比較平實,唯一亮眼的是摔斷角的獨角獸,"Is it broken?" "Now it is just like all the other horses."
##我最掛念的還是Laura,你還好嗎?
##I didn't go to the moon, I went much further--for time is the longest distance between two places. /The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.

##老實說我無法對Tom喜歡起來
##An emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. The long delayed but always expected something that we live for.
