After losing her Mississippi home to creditors, Blanche du Bois relocates to the New Orleans home of her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life's harsh realities. Though she finds a glimmer of hope while connecting with Stanley's gentlemanly friend, Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past and ultimately descends into madness.

A Streetcar Named Desire won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948, showcasing its profound impact on American theatre. Jessica Tandy, who played Blanche DuBois, received a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play that same year, sharing the honor with Judith Anderson and Katharine Cornell.
