About the play

Blanche Dubois, raised in the elegant world of a Southern plantation, comes to stay with her younger sister, Stella Kowalski and husband Stanley in a crowded New Orleans’ apartment. Stanley’s brutish and tormenting behaviour threatens to shatter Blanche’s fragile sense of self and to destroy her last chance of happiness.


Widely considered one of the greatest American plays, A Streetcar Named Desire won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Best Play in 1948. The 1951 film adaptation starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh won four Academy Awards and is regarded as an American classic.
