Shakespeare & Friends Presents: A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

In William’s classic 1947 play, vulnerable Blanche DuBois moves to New Orleans and stays with her sister, Stella and her husband Stanley Kowalski. Fanciful and educated, Blanche clashes with the unsophisticated Kowalski, splintering the thin line between fantasy, dark secrets, hard truth, and harsh reality.

Staying true to the text, poetry and heightened language of  Williams’ original dialogue, Director, Catherine Gillet re-imagines this classic drama for a modern audience, with focus on the four  primary relationships in the play—Blanche DuBois, Stella Kowalski, Stanley Kowalski and Harold (“Mitch”) Mitchell.

Against a backdrop of The French Quarter, and with the use of innovative and immersive staging, evocative lighting, minimalist set design, and creative direction, the audience will be guided on a journey into the heart and psyche of this brilliant play and its complicated heroine.

This production is a rental presentation.
