The Catastrophe of Success
From the moment The Glass Menagerie became a sensation in 1945, fame took a starring role in shaping Williams’s life and career, a part it continues to play in the performance and reception of his work in the 21st century. Scholars with expertise in literary analysis, history, performance, and directing discuss the various blessings and burdens that did and still do go along with Williams’s personal fame, the fame of his works, and the fame of the actors and directors involved.
