  • Family in Films
    Travail de maturité – ANGLAIS Sujet no 13 Family in Films “All happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Anna Karenina, Leon Tolstoy. Whether dysfunctional, separated by exile, torn apart by history, laden with secrecy, crazy, loving, caring, smothering - and even perhaps happy, family is an endless source of investigation about human relations and social groups. In this research paper, you will be able to question Leon Tolstoy’s statement and explore how films envision new and older forms of families.

  • Laurie Metcalf: I Think It Was the Glass Menagerie That Got Us a Bit of Our First Real Notice
    Laurie Metcalf: I think it was The Glass Menagerie that got us a bit of our first real notice. Richard Christiansen came up to see it, and he was like, “Hey, everybody in Chicago, you have to make the trek up to Highland Park and see this play!” That was our first little blip on Chicago’s radar. Terry Kinney: The Glass Menagerie was absolutely one of the smallest, most perfect miracles I’ve ever been involved in. The poetry of [Tennessee] Williams was not interrupted with concept, it was just served. Laura [played by Laurie Metcalf] wasn’t a romantic figure on any level. The selfishness of Tom [John Malkovich] was very much brought to the fore. I was playing the Gentleman Caller, and Laura would experience that moment where I say I have a girlfriend, then she walks to the Victrola. The audience weren’t just moved. They were devastated. It was part and parcel with that small black box space, but it was also this trust that we had that we could go that far and still be OK because somehow the other actors onstage will still be holding you up. Margie Marcus (founding board member, Steppenwolf Theatre): I was reading the Tribune one morning in August of ’79. And I saw that there was a play being done in Highland Park by a group I had never heard of. My daughter was 15 years old at the time, and she was taking drama classes in high school, so I said, “Miriam, you’re studying drama, there’s a play right here in Highland Park, let’s go see it.” Well [laughs]! I didn’t know what had happened to me when I walked out after seeing John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, and Terry Kinney in Glass Menagerie.
