Synopsis:

Premiering in Chicago in 1944, Williams' first successful play tells the story of Tom Wingfield, his mother Amanda and his sister Laura, who as a shy young woman attracts few suitors, to the chagrin of her mother Amanda. When Tom relents to his mother's requests and brings home Jim, a potential suitor from his job at a local warehouse, Laura learns that he is actually a man she once had a deep affection for as a schoolgirl. The evening involves a furtive kiss, a slow dance, and a broken glass unicorn that comes to symbolize the loss that underscores this aching memory play.
