A Streetcar Named Desire
With an introduction by
Arthur Miller
'One of the greatest American plays'
Observer
Fading southern bell Blanche Dubois depends on the kindness of
strangers and 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. 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 dram, recreated
as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, is one of the most
influential plays of the twentieth century.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
