A Streetcar Named Desire

This celebrated play had a long and successful run on Broadway and the road – a tragic and effective drama which ranks as one of the greatest of the 20th century. Faded Southern belle Blanche DuBois comes to visit her pregnant sister, Stella, in a seedy section of New Orleans. Stella's boorish husband, Stanley Kowalski, not only despises Blanche's aristocratic affectations but also believes she's holding onto the family estate inheritance that rightfully belongs to Stella. On the fringes of sanity, Blanche struggles unsuccessfully to move beyond the less savory incidents in her past and start life anew with Stanley's friend Mitch.

There are two acts with one 20 minute intermission.
