A Streetcar Named Desire

Winner of the 1948 Pulitzer Prize, A Streetcar Named Desire centers on the story of Blanche DuBois, a fragile relic of the Old South, and her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski, a steel brute trying to make it in the post-industrial age. Blanche arrives in New Orleans, claiming fatigue, but her concealed and manipulative neuroses play on Stanley’s animalistic jealousy until the situation reaches a sweltering heat.
