Pulling into the hi-desert with a head of steam, clash and clatter is Tennessee Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize winning drama 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.  Theatre 29 has staged a mesmerizing production under the astute direction of Gary Daigneault. The play, featuring Bobbie Breckenridge as the fragile and complex Blanche DuBois, Deacon Ledges as the brutish yet charismatic Stanley Kowalski, and Victoria Shupe as the conflicted Stella Kowalski, offers a compelling exploration of desire, illusion, and the harsh realities of life.

Strong performances in a fragile world. Written in 1944, THE GLASS MENAGERIE was Tennessee Williams’ first major success, and it mirrors his own life more than any other of his works. The play’s characters are drawn from an autobiographical place.
