Tennessee Williams' classic, The Glass Menagerie, is captivating a new audience through a fresh Bahasa Malaysia translation titled Perhiasan Kaca.

This localised version, now showing at KLPac's Pentas 2 until July 7, preserves the memory play's bleak nuances and storyline set during the Great Depression in the United States.
