Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire is the inaugural production for New World Repertory. Jean Adamak Gottlieb directs. Faded Southern beauty Blanche DuBois, in a last attempt to put her shattered life in order, comes to live with her sister Stella and Stella’s husband Stanley. The harsh realities of the New Orleans tenement clash with Blanche’s fantasy world, leading to a final confrontation between dreams and reality. With great compassion and rich, poetic imagery, Williams gives us a poignant and scintillating story of lost love and secret desires.
