Jeremy Herrin’s 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 as Laura and Victor Alli as Jim O’Connor.
