[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Collaborative Artists Ensemble presents Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by Steve Jarrard at The Sherry Theater from September 8-October 1.
The Play Synopsis
After losing her Mississippi home to creditors, Blanche du Bois relocates to the New Orleans home of her younger sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Undermined by romantic illusions, Blanche is unable to cope with life’s harsh realities. Though she finds a glimmer of hope while connecting with Stanley’s gentlemanly friend, Mitch, Blanche cannot face the truth of her own troubled past. She also finds herself simultaneously repulsed by and attracted to Stella’s husband, the brutish and sensual Stanley, only adding to the stress of her current situation.
“Out of poetic imagination and ordinary compassion, [Williams} has spun a poignant and luminous story.” – New York Times
