Natasha Richardson, star of the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, will be featured on CNBC's Topic A with Tina Brown on Sunday, May 22nd from 8-9 PM.

The new Broadway production of the Tennessee Williams classic is playing a limited engagement at Studio 54 through July 3rd, 2005. Directed by Edward Hall, the play also features John C. Reilly as Stanley Kowalski, Amy Ryan as Stella Kowalski and Chris Bauer as Mitch.

Set against the steamy backdrop of New Orleans' gritty French Quarter, A Streetcar Named Desire is the dramatic story of Blanche Du Bois (Richardson), a faded Southern belle driven to madness by her animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.

Richardson, who the New York Times' Ben Brantley has described as "an actress of shining skills and unexpected insights," has previously been on Broadway in Anna Christie (for which she was nominated for a Best Actress in a Play Tony), the 1998 revival of Cabaret (for which she won the Best Actress in a Musical Tony) and Closer. Her film credits include Maid in Manhattan, Blow Dry, Nell, The Parent Trap, The Handmaid's Tale and Gothic.

 A Streetcar Named Desire will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00PM. From Tuesday, May 31st to Friday, June 10th, evening performances will begin at 7:00 PM. 

Tickets, which range from $36.25 to $91.25, are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, and can also be purchased online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Studio 54 box office (254 West 54th St.).
