A Streetcar Named Desire at Roxy Regional Theatre

Fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves to New Orleans where her sister Stella and her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski barely live above squalor in the French Quarter. The play reveals to the very depths of Blanche, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject—so far as possible—the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister and intensified by the earthy and extremely “normal” young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.
