Whisper it: despite the A-list casting, TGM is a disappointment – and saying so feels like walking on broken glass. (Unsurprising, given the era the single female characters, especially, are heartbreakingly confined by social pressures). That’s permissible, as there’s nothing overtly LGBTQ about the 1944-written, St Louis-based story. And yet, I received little to no indication that this brooding, browbeaten character should be interpreted as queer in this version. His breakout play is undoubtedly autobiographical like Tom, Williams was once a frustrated artist working a dead-end job to support his overbearing mother and disabled sister. The gentleman was talking about TGM’s Tom Wingfield, a character widely considered a stand-in for storied homosexual Williams. “He’s selfish, like most gay men.” Or so I overheard a gay man tell another gay man as countless gay men, including Luke Evans, spilled out of Duke of York’s Theatre in London last night all of us out in force to support Hollywood’s Amy Adams in her West End debut, in the Blanche DuBois-adjacent role of Amanda in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, no less.

But when her school team is selected to be featured and televised as part of HockeyFest, her status as the only girl on the boys’ team makes her the lead story. Holland Delviss wants to be known for her talent as a hockey player, not a hockey player who happens to be a girl.
