Who Played Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire

Blanche is a role in A Streetcar Named Desire, a play that opened West End in 2023.

On a street in New Orleans, in the blistering summer heat, a sister spirals. When Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella’s husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche’s fragile world begins to fracture. Reality and illusion collide and a violent conflict changes their lives forever. Almeida Associate Director __Rebecca Frecknall’s__ “heartstopping” (The Telegraph) revival of __Tennessee Williams__’ masterpiece transfers to the West End for a limited six week run. __Patsy Ferran__ (“astonishingly good” Time Out) returns as Blanche DuBois, with __Paul Mescal__ (“tremendous” The Times) as Stanley and __Anjana Vasan__ (“outstanding” New York Times) as Stella in this “mesmerising” (The i) production. __Assisted Performances__ Audio Described Performance - Saturday 15 Apr 2023 14:30 Captioned Performance - Tuesday 18 Apr 2023 19:30
