Phoenix Theatre
(Tottenham Court Road) Charing Cross Road London

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.
