First look: Amy Adams in The Glass Menagerie at The Duke of York’s Theatre in West end

A first look at Amy Adams in her West End debut in The Glass Menagerie has been revealed.

A new production of Tennessee Williams’s celebrated memory play will run for 14 weeks at The Duke of York’s Theatre from 23 May 2022 with tickets on sale now

Directed by award-winning director Jeremy Herrin, the bold new staging explores the fragility and fallibility of memory in Tennessee Williams’s semi-autobiographical masterpiece.

Six-time Academy Award nominated and two-time Golden Globe winning actress Amy Adams takes on the role of one of Williams’s most iconic matriarchs Amanda Wingfield, a former Southern Belle living precariously with her two children, Tom and Laura, in a space between past and present.

Tony award-nominee Paul Hilton and Tom Glynn-Carney will both play Tom – at different stages of the character’s life – with Lizzie Annis and Victor Alli as Laura and Jim O’Connor.
