A Streetcar Named Desire

In one of the most renowned plays of the American Theatre, Blanche DuBois, a school teacher from Kentucky, arrives from New Orleans and takes a streetcar named ‘Desire’ to the French Quarter where her sister Stella and Stella’s husband, Stanley Kowalski, live barely above squalor.

Blanche’s affections of refinement set her immediately at odds with blue-collar Stanley who is further incensed when he learns his wife’s aristocratic inheritance has been forfeited to creditors. Believing that Blanche has sold the estate for personal profit and is swindling Stella and Stanley from sharing the proceeds, Stanley disdains and demeans Blanche in the only way she knows how - with her genteel femininity.
