A Streetcar Named Desire
A Play in Three Acts
by Tennesse Williams
This is the story of a woman’s struggle to survive in what she perceives as a world declining into decadence. Blanche, a former Southern Belle down on her luck and in disgrace, comes to live with her sister, Stella, and her working class husband, Stanley, in a poor neighborhood in mid-century New Orleans. Blanche lives more and more in a parallel universe that she has constructed from past recollections and fantasies in a desperate attempt to survive on her own terms. Stanley mistakes Blanche’s attitude for snobbery and an attempt to break up his marriage. Stella is torn between the two of them. Depending upon the auditioning pool, the director will attempt to cast this play multiculturally.
