    Autographed Playbill
    THE GLASS MENAGERIE
    This is the one that everybody wishes they had seen. This is the missed performance that everyone laments. TAYLOR'S performance has remained too elusive for words; they are insufficient. Never has any performance been spoken of by those who did see it in such superlatives as LAURETTE TAYLOR'S Amanda Wingfield in Tennessee Williams's THE GLASS MENAGERIE. Radiant, luminous, astonishing, otherworldly are just a few of the apparently inadequate adjectives summoned to describe her performance. WILLIAMS himself said "There was a radiance...that I can compare only to the greatest lines of poetry."
    TIME
    magazine bluntly called her "Broadway's most gifted actress." The mystique of TAYLOR'S performance has evolved over 75 years because it was burned immovably into the minds of those who were there. They never forgot the experience and they have talked about it and their listeners have talked about it until it has become perhaps the most tantalizing legend in the history of American theatre. Today a few photographs, some old playbills, a handful of reviews are the only palpable relics left to put us in touch with this seemingly once-in-a-lifetime event. LAURETTE TAYLOR has signed this playbill in pencil (see photographs) at the very top of the front cover. This playbill is in VERY GOOD condition.
    Some darkening typical of aging paper.
    All pages are present and intact and it is free of markings throughout. Brown stain (c. 1" L x 1/4" W) bottom right corner front cover
