BD Wong will star in a reimagined solo production of The Glass Menagerie next spring, running April 9-May 2, 2027 at Philadelphia Theatre Company. Taibi Magar will direct the new version of Tennessee Williams' classic, conceived in collaboration by Magar and Wong.
The Glass Menagerie follows Amanda Wingfield, a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a cramped St. Louis apartment with her aimless son, Tom, and her debilitatingly shy daughter, Laura. With their father absent and the Great Depression in motion, the siblings find comfort in their distractionsâalcohol, movies, and writing for Tom, and a collection of glass animals for Laura. When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfield family is flooded with hope. But itâs uncertain if this mysterious visitor will change things for the better or shatter a familyâs fragile illusions. Magar and Wong have reimagined the text as a solo play through the eyes of Tom Wingfield, 40 years older and still haunted, confronting the ghosts of the night he left home.
Further creative team information will be revealed at a later date.
Tickets go on sale August 4 at PhiladelphiaTheatreCompany.org.
