A generation too old for the part, she strides through the play on the assurance of her craft. Tandy's Amanda is flinty, not flighty; a hawk, not a dithery dove; a bustling den mother, not a senescent teenager who treats the gentleman caller to some of her own old-fashioned wooing. Williams' characters may not be as fragile as Laura's menagerie, but they deserve to be handled with care. Tandy's hand...
