A Streetcar Named Desire

When Blanche DuBois steps off the rattling streetcar at her sister Stella’s dingy New Orleans apartment, she is worn, dusty and exhausted. Overcome by the squalor of the surroundings and the brute passions of Stella’s husband, Stanley Kowalski, Blanche desperately clings to fantasies of a genteel life – softly scented, faintly lit and tenderly whispered. This southern flower’s tragic sojourn in the Kowalski’s two-room apartment is haunting, evocative and utterly unforgettable. One of the truly great American classics, A Streetcar Named Desire is, simply, a masterpiece – the incomparable Tennessee Williams at his best.
