A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire: By Tennessee Williams. A gritty story of fantasy versus reality set in New Orleans in the 1940’s. When Blanche DuBois shows up at her sister’s doorstep, Stella and Stanley Kowalski’s simple life is interrupted by her illusionary grandeur. Though poor herself, Blanche’s condescending ways toward their lifestyle creates a riff between Stella and Stanley as the truth eventually comes out about Stella’s sorted past. This powerful play, a classic literary work that was made famous by Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh in the film from 1951, ends with Stella being coerced away to a mental hospital as delusions of her past life creep back into her mind.
