A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennessee Williams · 1947

Blanche DuBois arrives in New Orleans clinging to Southern gentility and collides with her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski's brutal realism. Williams wrote the great American play about self-deception, desire, and cruelty. Marlon Brando's Stanley in the original production changed acting forever.
