A Streetcar Named Desire presented by Irene Collective
A Streetcar Named Desire is a 1947 play by Tennessee Williams set in the vibrant but gritty New Orleans home of Stella and Stanley Kowalski, whose marriage is thrown into crisis by the arrival of Stella’s sister Blanche DuBois. The play is a raw, tension-filled portrait of the collision between two very different worlds.
