3 JUNE - 9 JULY
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Written by Tennessee Williams
Directed By Alexander Berlage
“Show me a person who hasn’t known any sorrow and I’ll show you a superficial.”
Winner of the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire is the tale of a catastrophic confrontation between fantasy and reality, embodied in the characters of Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski.
Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness.
Alexander Berlage directs Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama, often hailed as one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century, starring Sheridan Harbridge (Prima Facie, Stop Girl) as Blanche and Catherine Văn-Davies (The Twelve, Hungry Ghosts) as Stella.
