Winner of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize,
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
is one of the most critically acclaimed plays
of the twentieth century.
Tennessee William’s steamy and shocking landmark drama, recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando and Vivian Leigh, is one of the most influential plays in the theatrical canon, and considered one of the greatest in American Drama.
The play dramatises the life of a fading southern belle Blanche Dubois as she becomes adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella’s crude, brutish husband Stanley.
Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche’s fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness.
