The production ran in Cambridge from Saturday, February 2, 2013, through Sunday, March 17, 2013 at A.R.T. Here’s what critics had to say:

“This Glass Menagerie is such a thorough rejuvenation of Tennessee Williams’ 1944 drama that I hesitate to call it a revival... With a top-notch cast of four… Ms. Jones, perhaps the greatest stage actress of her generation is both even more than you hoped for and not at all what you might have expected, and Mr. Quinto is the finest Tom I’ve ever seen.”
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“A production that transcends time and place.” -Boston Globe

“Epic and intimate, presented gracefully, even wondrously.” -Variety

“Extraordinary…a fully-realized, heart-rending production” -WBUR
