A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire is the story of the determined, yet fragile, repressed and delicate Blanche DuBois, set in the New Orleans apartment of her sister, Stella, and animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play opened on Broadway in New York in 1947 and guaranteed Williams’ status as one of the major American playwrights. Cate Blanchett stars as Blanche.
