10:00am / February 18, 19, 20, 21 // 2025
Fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves to New Orleans where her sister Stella and her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski barely live above squalor in the French Quarter. Tennessee Williams’ play reveals to the very depths of Blanche, a woman whose life has been undermined by her 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 and intensified by the earthy and extremely “normal” young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness. Please note: This play contains adult situations and content which may not be suitable for all audiences.
