A Streetcar Named Desire

Local community based theatre company, 4th Wall puts a fresh spin on this American classic which deals with the culture clash between Blanche DuBois, a pretentious fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley Kowalski, a rising member of the industrial, urban immigrant class. After letting her family’s plantation slip through her fingers, Blanche shows up in New Orleans’ French Quarter to “temporarily” visit her younger sister Stella and her less than hospitable husband Stanley. Blanche’s pretensions to virtue and culture only thinly mask alcoholism and delusions of grandeur. Set in the steamy, jazz-infused streets of New Orleans in the early 1950′s. Directed by Barbara Guertin, stars Sean Stanco, as Stanley.
