The Glass Menagerie

Fourteen years after it opened its doors, London’s hippest theatre is about be no more: the Yard will be demolished following artistic director Jay Miller’s revival of Tennessee Williams’s landmark The Glass Menagerie. The Yard will come back, of course, with a swish new building due to open in 2026. But it’s unquestionably the end of an era and a sad day for those who have danced, drank or seen a show here. Miller is an eye-poppingly visual director whose productions skew towards the weird – expect an unusual take on Williams’s peerless drama about an insular, deluded family. Sharon Small will play matriarch Amanda Wingfield, Tom Varey her closet son Tom, and Eva Mason her frail daughter Laura.
