a look at the cotillion dress
This is the key image of my cotillion dress research for Amanda...Doing the math from the mid-1930s, Amanda's heyday with the gentlemen callers would have been around 1900. This gorgeous Worth gown really drew me in because of its lace layers. I would love to see how a dress like this one deteriorates over time: yellows with age, dry rots, hanger dents, etc.
I also like the train on the gown--something beautiful but with the potential for being an "obstacle" for Amanda.

Welcome
The Glass Menagerie Project
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Professor Derek Goldman
This fresh re-envisioning of Williams’ legendary masterpiece, his most autobiographical play, is presented as part of our Tennessee Williams Centennial Festival. Featuring an artistic team comprised of Georgetown students, young alumni,
and faculty, including Professor Sarah Marshall as Amanda Wingfield, the production of this haunting memory play, filled with fragility and stifled yearning, is the centerpiece of The Glass Menagerie Project. The project’s diverse range of events will include readings, adapted work from Williams’ fiction (including Portrait of a Girl in Glass), letters, screenplays, and memoirs, as well as an interactive multimedia installation which uses the scenic world of The Glass Menagerie as an embodied, sensory window into Williams’ life and work. The production and surrounding events are presented at Georgetown and then in June at the new Mead Center for American Theater as part of GU’s partnership with Arena Stage.
