THE GLASS MENAGERIE with Amy Adams in London

I saw the matinee today. I thought it was a very solid production with nice design and staging. I found it to be a pretty straightforward presentation of the material. The only somewhat unique choice was splitting Tom, which I don’t think really added or detracted anything. I liked all of the performances, but for me the performances in the John Tiffany revival are still the standard.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE with Amy Adams in London

Easily the worst production of The Glass Menagerie I have ever seen*. I actively disliked Amy Adams, who I generally love on film, but I admit she was better in the second act. The relationship between Amanda and Tom, which I generally love had no warmth to it and splitting Tom gave both actors, who I have seen be wonderful in other productions, seemingly nothing to do! The best scene was the Laura/Gentleman caller scene, which is saying a lot for the writing because I liked neither actor!

* I did not see the Sally Field Broadway production. However I did see Sally Field play Amanda in a DC production and she was wonderful.

I leave Britain today and I'm glad yesterday I saw the marvellous, diversely cast revival of Legally Blond in Regent's Park. That erased the bad taste in my mouth of seeing Menagerie on Monday.
