A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams |
Set in steamy New Orleans following WW II, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the story of Blanche DuBois, a fragile woman desperately seeking a place to call her own. Blanche sashays into the home of her sister, Stella, and her volatile husband, Stanley, interrupting the careful balance of their turbulent marriage. The passionate conflict between these three struggling souls provides a thrilling emotional climax not to be missed. The quintessential gem of American drama made "purple."
