A Streetcar Named Desire

With the New York production of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947, Tennessee William's reputation was established once and for all as America's leading dramatist since O'Neill.
The winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and The Drama Critics Circle Award, Streetcar is a work of great lyric power and deep, compassionate understanding. Set in New Orleans, it is one of Tennessee William's unsurpassed portraits of a beautiful, sensitive woman in misplaced circumstances - Blanche DuBois, whose life is undermined by fantasy and the memory of a tragic love - and the resentment and passion she arouses in her brutish brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.
