pickThis is a lovely, contemplative little play. It has some great imagery involved, and the characters are fully realized people full of hope, desperation, and flaws. It's my first Tennessee Williams. I wasn't completely blown away, but I am looking forward to A Streetcar Named Desire. (In case you want fair warning: Amanda, the mom, has a couple of racist remarks against a couple of different minority groups.) #RoryGilmoreChallenge

pickRandomly remembered I didn‘t post this one as finished✨
pickA memory play that was well written, well played and yet the plot wasn‘t as ... I dunno, maybe my expectation was higher due to all the rave reviews 😅 It‘s a good read nevertheless.
Here‘s my take on #bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks ! I can‘t decide which books to fill up the boxes with, I‘ve decided to place alphabets instead! I‘ll pick the books with the author‘s first name based on the alphabet where the numbers are in. January‘s numbers were 20 and 4 so it‘s T and D! I did drill it down further to type based on another challenge. So that‘s how I‘ve ended up with Tennessee Williams‘ The Glass Menagerie 🤞🏻
pickExcellent production of Tennesse Williams', The Glass Menagerie

My husband pulled this out to look something up and the second he put it down, #SullivanCat was on it. #catsoflitsy #kal
“I went in the art museum and the bird houses at the #Zoo. I visited the penguins every day!” #QuotsyDec19
The image of Laura visiting the penguins has always stuck with me. Maybe because I‘d probably do the same thing in her place if I could. 🐧 🐧🐧
pickI'll call this a Pick because I found the autobiographical elements made the play even more compelling. I was a bit lost when it came to classifying this as a memory play, but overall it worked well even on paper. With the right cast, though, it could be electric on stage.
This is #aplay I really enjoyed reading, but unfortunately, I‘ve never seen a stage production!
#gratefulreads
I laughed way too hard at this.
pickFinished this one tonight. Semi-autobiographical, sad but good. 💙 Tennessee Williams
pickMy absolute favorite role I‘ve ever played: Laura Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. An absolutely exquisite play by a truly brilliant author- the stage directions read just as beautifully as the actual dialogue. #Tennesseewilliams
#QuotsyJuly18 Day 15: As #Delicate as a glass, indeed. still unable to tag people huhuhuhu 😭
pickPlaying catch-up with #closereads podcast. I‘ve never read any TW before, so this was a treat, and the essay at the end was just as good.
Now it is just like all the other horses.
Saw many beautiful #roses at the NY botanical gardens yesterday for Memorial Day like the one pictured, though I'm not sure if any were 'blue roses', as the Laura's 'gentleman caller' mistakenly hears her refer to her pleurosis, in a touching scene of the tagged play. #getmovin @eanderson @Cinfhen
Planning to #reread The Crucible at some point. It‘s been about 20 years. The other two are still #TBR. I‘ll get to them one day ...

I stopped by the Library‘s used book store today and took this photo for the last day of #nuyear book challenge. Thank you for all those prompts that had my brain working overtime! #weareglass
This book is a play, with autobiographical aspects which features characters based on Williams himself, his mother, and his mentally fragile sister Rose. #nuyear #weareglass
This month‘s photo challenge has been a blast! Thanks @Cinfhen and @TrishB (and Mr.B) for the awesome playlist! Some prompts got my creative juices flowing, others got me 🤔. 🤘🖤❣️
Re-reading for an exam tomorrow.
A gentleman caller you say! #ReindeerReads #Visitors
pickReally enjoyed this play. I should've read Williams' work earlier! Can't wait to discuss it in class 😍👌
⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickThoroughly enjoyable but even more so once you get the perspective of reading his essay “The catastrophe of Success” at the end which gives it a very raw enigmatic draw like no other especially since The Menagerie itself is semi autobiographical
I absolutely adore the way this play begins and I can‘t wait to read the rest of the play!

Found these beautiful modernist covers by Alvin Lustig. Love the covers and the collage.
