Tennessee Williams on the Mexican stage

Director David Olguín’s adaptation of The glass menagerie/El zoologico de cristal at the Teatro El Milagro (August-September 2025)

Abstract

El zoologico de cristal, a play by US playwright Tennessee Williams, was staged in Spanish at the Teatro El Milagro from August 29 to September 21. The positive reception of Olguín’s original production led to the purchase of 35 more performances at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) theatre in February 2026.

Sophie Maruéjouls-Koch interviewed director David Olguín and French actress Anaïs Umano on 9 October 2025 in a video conference. The interview was transcribed for publication.
