Product Description

 
Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle, arrives to see her sister Stella in New Orleans. An alcoholic, clinging to the Southern tradition, she criticizes Stella for losing the family home to marry the rugged and crude Stanley Kowalski. Blanche lives in her own grieving, half-mad fantasy world; this ires Stanley, who ruins her relationship with another man, rapes her, and further accelerates her descent into madness.

On A Streetcar Going Nowhere

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you like reading about total tragedy of a sympathetic character, you may revel in this play. I don't.
Review: I don?t know about you, but when I watch (or read) a play, I need at least a slim chance of hope for one of the main characters in the end. Otherwise, the utter despair and frustration they experience will infuriate me and make me wish I?d never...

Where Taxis Fear to Tread

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This powerful, shadowy play takes an unflinching look at the painful and violent degeneration of a woman and her sanity. Love it or hate it, no one feels lukewarm.

"I don't want realism. I want magic."

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: The best play I've ever read, and you can read it within a couple of hours.
Review: Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize winning play tells the story of fading Southern Belle Blanche Dubois and her last attempts for stability and happiness. She's kind of what I imagine Scarlett O'Hara would end up as, penniless and facing middle age...
