Streetcar Named Desire

A Drama by Tennessee Williams

January 10 - February 1 2020

In one of the most renowned plays of the American theater, Blanche DuBois, a schoolteacher from Kentucky, arrives in New Orleans and takes a streetcar named "Desire" to the French Quarter, where her sister, Stella, and Stella's husband, Stanley Kowalski, live barely above squalor. Blanche's affectations of refinement set her immediately at odds with blue-collar Stanley, who is further incensed when he learns his wife's aristocratic inheritance—the family estate—has been forfeited to creditors.
