Sharon Small (Nye), Tom Varey (Hamnet), Eva Morgan (This City is Ours) and Jad Sayegh (The Ocean and the Star) will star in a new staging of The Glass Menagerie, coming to The Yard Theatre next month.
It is evening. Tom Wingfield is smoking in the alley outside the apartment where he grew up. Through a window, he watches his mother and his sister.
Tonight is one of those nights you remember forever. Tonight, someone special is coming to dinner. Tonight, there will be a dance. Tonight, you might fall in love. Tonight, everything could change.
Small will play Amanda Wingfield, Varey will play Tom Wingfield, Morgan will play Laura Wingfield and Sayegh will play Jim O’Connor. It marks the professional stage debuts for both Morgan and Sayegh.
Directed by founder and artistic director Jay Miller, the creative team also includes Cécile Trémolières (set designer) Lambdog1066 (costume designer), Josh Anio Grigg (composer and sound designer), Sung Im Her (movement director), Arthur Carrington (casting director), Edward Hilsum (illusion designer) and Erin Guan (set and costume assistant).
The production also marks the final show in The Yard’s current space, with construction beginning on a purpose-built new venue that is scheduled to open in 2026.
The Glass Menagerie will run from February 28 – April 21. Details: www.yardtheatre.co.uk
