“I don’t tell the truth,” says Blanche, “I tell what ought to be the truth.” In post-WWII New Orleans, an Old South wanting to rest in peace is confronted by a shocking New South. The world of fantasy and magic cracks in its fragility as immigrant Stanley creates his path to the American Dream while the tortured Blanche tries desperately to cling to hers. Williams’ poetic and savage drama would change the course of playwrighting forever with this personal story that remains achingly modern.
“A Streetcar Named Desire” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
