More information about A Streetcar Named Desire
In Tennessee Williams’s acclaimed drama, Blanche DuBois is a Southern belle who, after a series of personal losses, relocates to live with her sister Stella and her husband Stanley in New Orleans. However, Blanche brings with her secrets that Stanley hungrily tries to unearth. As feelings develop and tensions rise, Blanche can only work so hard to keep the cracks in her facade from showing.
Williams is a master of giving rich theatrical life to Southern belles and their less than graceful demises, as was also the case with Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. Lyrical and dramatic, his plays offer a keen look at a particular time in American history when Southern aristocracy was going through cultural and economic shifts, providing fertile soil for dramatic storytelling. Whether you’ve seen A Streetcar Named Desire many times before or this is your first go, this production will be a sturdy testament to Williams’s enduring craft.
