2. A Streetcar Named Desire

Quelle saison! We end it with what many critics consider a modern masterpiece. Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski are universally recognized names and their story along with that of Stella and Mitch still simmers and steams like the humid New Orleans summer where it is set. Sensitive, wounded Blanche on the brink of madness collides with basic, brutish Stanley and the fireworks are unavoidable. This is a play that never falters as it moves to its inevitable conclusion. Winner of every stage award of its day, and of numerous Oscar nominations including 3 wins for its stars, it is one not to be missed, but to be seen and re-seen.
