Theater Review:
Is anything (in the review) being mentioned regarding the following topics:
1. structure of the play (scene allocation, horizontality, verticality)
2. casting (good choices/unusual choices)
3. the thematic role of the play (then/now)
If so, if any, comment on how the reviewer has approached them, and what she has written regarding their presence.

1. As much that i have red from the theater review i didn't see anything in it that talks about the structure of the play.
2. The casting is really the moste mentioned thing in the theatre review it talks a lot about which actors should play the characters from the "Glass Menagerie". The author explains the actors in representation of their personality which leads us to think that these acters are good to play the characters just because in reaol life they have something in common with these characers.
3. The theme in that time when it was written represented a way how a man leaves his famil just because he is unhappy and wants to travel. This means at this time the theme represented how a man runs away from his family. Today in the modern world because people and time change we see the theme as how a man followed his dream to become something or doing the American Dream that everybody today wants do.

1. In my opinion, the review does not touch upon the structure of the play. The play's horizontality and/or verticality are not discussed. The author only mentions that "The Glass Menagerie" is Tennessee Williams's
heartbreaking 1945 "memory play."
2. The casting is the issue which is most in-depth discussed in this review. The author mentions that Jessica Lange and Christian Slater are unlike actors for the characters of Amanda and Tom. Slater brings masculinity to Tom's character while Lange brings "salt of the earth"-personality to the character of Amanda.
3. The thematic roles... tomorrow in class :)
