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.
