Synopsis

A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most remarkable plays of our time. It created an immortal woman in the character of Blanche DuBois, the haggard and fragile southern beauty whose pathetic last grasp at happiness is cruelly destroyed. It shot Marlon Brando to fame in the role of Stanley Kowalski, a sweat-shirted barbarian, the crudely sensual brother-in-law who precipitated Blance's tragedy.

Produced across the world and translated into many languages, A Streetcar Named Desire has won one of the widest audiences in contemporary literature.

Also contained in: - New Voices in the American Theatre - Plays 1937 - 1955
