Tennessee Williams

Arthur Miller

Robert Bray

E. Browne

Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness.

Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama, recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century.

A Streetcar Named Desire

BLANCHE: What you are talking about is brutal desire - just -Desirel - the name of that rattle-trap streetcar that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narrow street and down another.. 

STELLA: Haven't you ever ridden on that streetcar? 

BLANCHE: It brought me here.- Where I'm not wanted and where Im ashamed to be...

BLANCHE: Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think. 

BLANCHE: The little there is belongs to people who have experienced some sorrow.
