British award-winning actress Kate O’Flynn returns to the London stage in John Tiffany’s  elegant production of Tennessee Williams’s 1944 autobiographical breakthrough play,  THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Duke of York’s theatre this month. It transfers from a sell-out run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Kate plays Laura Wingfield, the frail, damaged daughter of  the bruised and brittle Southern matriarch Amanda, played by the formidable Broadway great Cherry Jones. Kate’s entrance through the middle of a sofa has been described as ‘unforgettable’ like the rest of her performance.

She signed my sketch on her way to the theatre for last Saturday’s matinee.
