A Streetcar Named Desire
Primary tabs
One of America's most iconic plays, A Streetcar Named Desire begins on a
steamy afternoon in the heart of New Orleans as Blanche DuBois arrives
on the doorstep of her younger sister Stella and Stella's sexy, yet
brutish husband Stanley. With a trunk filled with jewels and furs to her
name, Blanche settles into their two-room apartment, painting a wistful
and romantic portrait of her life as a styled Southern belle in
Mississippi, all the while failing to complete the mysterious picture
with details of her unexpected arrival and unknown departure. As
Blanche's fabrications wane and her needs multiply, Stanley's skepticism
boils, driving a deep wedge between them. The tension grows as thick as
the humid night air until a final plea of passion and desperation
sparks an explosive encounter that changes them forever.
