Sidse Babett Knudsen and Morten Hee Andersen take the leads in this claustrophobic drama about self-deception and family ties that will not be untangled. Tennessee Williams' breakthrough play from 1944 is close to autofiction, told through the memories of the son, Tom, as his family's story unfolds over a few intense and fateful days.
Amanda lives through her children, torn between wanting to set them free and wanting to control their fate. Her daughter Laura, fragile and hard to read, is her opposite. When Tom's friend Jim is invited to dinner and Amanda sees him as a possible suitor for Laura, the illusions shatter and the glass house with them. The production is directed by Anna Balslev and designed by Laura Løwe, who ask whether anyone can ever escape where they come from.
