Synopsis

This celebrated American drama, which earned both the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, ranks as one of the greatest in our theatre. A savagely arresting drama. Streetcar is one the those rare plays familiar to all. Primitive, graceful and poetic, the play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche DuBois, a woman whose life has been undermined by romantic illusions, which lead her to reject so far as possible the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the brutish and animal-like husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion, and in the end to madness. A play of uncommon beauty and grace—Streetcar is one of the most significant pieces of literature to come from the theatre.
