(Stevenson 10)

The Glass Menagerie
Words: 563 - Pages: 3.... over the phone.
The character is played well by, Chris Hendrix. He is fitted in what seems to be typical factory workers' uniforms. The actual acting of Tom is amazing. He looks as if he really gets into the part. In some of the narrative scenes, Tom actually leaves the stage and walks up and down the aisle of the theatre. No matter how unconventional his action, it was very effective. That action brought the play to the audience and made the audience feel as if they were active members of the play. Given the fact that the play has the confining effect of a small St. Louis apartment, it makes the audience feel as if they are .....
