Mamai Theatre Company to Preset A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
By: Tyler Peterson Jun. 15, 2015
Mamaí Theatre Company continues its third season with new private and public funding grants, two new venues, and a production of Tennessee Williams' American classic, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, directed by Mitchell Fields.
Pulitzer Prize-winning A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE follows the haggard and fragile southern beauty, Blanche DuBois, as her sudden arrival at her sister's residence disrupts the marital home of Stella & Stanley Kowalski. Against the shadows and heat of its New Orleans backdrop where "you are practically always just around the corner...from a tinny piano being played," this major 20th-Century classic erupts with legendary drama as Blanche reaches for a pathetic, last grasp at happiness, while Stanley fights to defend his territory and Stella must choose between sister and husband.
Director Mitchell Fields notes: "After having played both Steve, the upstairs neighbor in 1970 and Mitch, Blanche's suitor in 1972, directing a professional production of this most remarkable play has been my dream."
