Synopsis
This Pulitzer Prize winner ranks as one of the greatest masterpieces of 20th century theatre. Faded southern belle Blanche DuBois arrives in desperation at the seedy New Orleans apartment of her sister Stella. Clinging to the last vestiges of southern gentility, and her own fragile sanity, Blanche comes into immediate conflict with Stella’s brutish working class husband Stanley as she struggles to move beyond the less savoury incidents of her past.
“Williams’ masterpiece still has the power to seduce and shock.” – The Oregonian
