A Streetcar Named Desire

  • Show Information

After losing her Mississippi home to creditors, Blanche duBois relocates to the New Orleans home of her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life’s harsh realities. Though she finds a glimmer of hope while connecting with Stanley’s gentlemanly friend, Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past and ultimately descends into madness.

Tennessee Williams’ explosive and groundbreaking drama ranks as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century.

This performance contains references to suicide and explores adult themes (including mental health, domestic and sexual abuse).
