Cherry Jones Will Lead THE GLASS MENAGERIE in Edinburgh and Dublin

Cherry Jones is having a big year on the small screen, starring in the second season of Amazon's Transparent, and she's about to make a splash onstage too.

Jones told the New York Times: "I know for certain we are taking "The Glass Menagerie" to the Edinburgh Festival and Dublin for three months next year, and I am so excited. Hopefully Zach Quinto and Celia Keenan-Bolger and Brian J. Smith can join us again. How cool to get to go from Leslie Mackinaw to Amanda Wingfield! I'm having the kind of year actors live for."

The 2013 Broadway production, directed by John Tiffany, starred Jones as Amanda Wingfield, stage and screen star Zachary Quinto as Tom, two-time Tony-nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger as Laura, and Brian J. Smith as Jim, the Gentleman Caller.

In The Glass Menagerie, Amanda Wingfield is a southern belle past her prime, living with two grown children in a small apartment in St. Louis. Amanda dreams of a better life for her shy and crippled daughter Laura, and so she pushes her son Tom to find a "gentleman caller" for the girl. However, the arrival of the gentleman caller sends shockwaves through the family, and causes cracks to form in the delicate fantasies that have kept them going.
