Iconic. Essential. Electric.
A cornerstone of 20th century theatre, A Streetcar Named Desire traces the unraveling of Blanche DuBois as she arrives in New Orleans to take shelter with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley. Clashing realities, desire, and delusion collide in this emotionally charged drama, revealing the fragility of identity and the harshness of truth in a changing world.
In turbulent and uncertain times, this iconic play could not be more prescient as we witness a family moving towards new identities and fighting for their vision of the American Dream. Tennessee Williams’ play is a portrait of a woman caught between the demons of her past and the prospect of a new life.
Directed by Chris Lam
