In one of the most renowned plays of the American theater, Blanche DuBois, a schoolteacher from Mississippi, arrives in New Orleans and takes a streetcar named \u201cDesire\u201c to the French Quarter, where her sister, Stella, and Stella\u2019s husband, Stanley Kowalski, live barely above squalor.<\/p>\n
Blanche\u2019s affectations of refinement set her immediately at odds with blue-collar Stanley, who is further incensed when he learns his wife\u2019s aristocratic inheritance has been forfeited to creditors.<\/p>\n
Believing that Blanche has sold the estate for personal profit and is swindling Stella\u00a0and Stanley from sharing in the proceeds, Stanley disdains and demeans Blanche,\u00a0who fights back in the only way she knows: with her genteel femininity.<\/p>\n
The Kowalskis\u2019 Elysian Fields apartment becomes a pressure cooker of sensuality and class tensions, until ultimately erupting into some of the most iconic dramatic moments seen on the modern stage.<\/p>\n
Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.<\/p>\n
