Preview: A Streetcar Named Desire
Players Catch Tennessee Williams’ Streetcar
by Bob McLaughlin and John Lieder
Community Players will kick off 2017 with a production of A Streetcar Named Desire, one of the greatest American plays, by one of it greatest playwrights, Tennessee Williams.
Opening on Broadway on December 3, 1947, Streetcar was the follow up to Williams’ first successful play, The Glass Menagerie. Streetcar begins when, after the loss of the family estate to creditors, Blanche DuBois arrives in New Orleans with no money but plenty of fantasies, to live with her sister Stella and her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski. Tensions arise immediately between the working-class Stanley and Blanche, with her pretensions to gracious living and memories of a golden past. Blanche hopes to escape the Kowalski apartment through marriage to Mitch, one of Stanley’s poker buddies, but the past intrudes on the present in a way Blanche and the audience don’t expect.
