A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams

“I don’t want realism. I want magic!”

Blanche Dubois is adrift in the modern world and depends on the kindness of strangers.

When she unexpectedly arrives to stay with her estranged sister Stella in a boisterous, crowded corner of New Orleans, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future.

Her delusions of grandeur frustrate Stella’s crude, brutish husband Stanley. As he stalks closer to the truth, Blanche’s fragile sense of identity begins to crumble, until one violent act changes all of their lives for forever.

“Cathal Cleary’s lucid production features a pleasingly young cast, including an impressively fluid Eavan Gaffney as Blanche DuBois.”
