The title of the play means a "collection of glass animals". This to me makes absolutely no sense at all so i had no clue what it was going to be about. Also the play was a "memory play" told by Tom which and i had never read a memory play before so i was somewhat interested in how it was laid out.
The begining of the play starts out with the family at dinner. The mother of two kids, Amanda, is yelling at her son to chew her food. Tom is old enough that his mom should not be telling him how to eat his food; he is a man. She is also whining to Laura how she has no "gentleman callers" and that back in her day (Amanda) she was very popular with the guys. Seems like she is living in the past and likes to brag. She needs to quit whining and yelling at her kids and worry more about the present time. She found out Laura was skipping classes at college and got very mad at this. Amanda also wants to find her some gentleman callers. She needs to live her own life and let her kids too, her kids are adults anyway.
