, 2008
A Streetcar Named Desire, which opened on Broadway in 1947, won a Tony Award (for lead actress Jessica Tandy) and the Pulitzer Prize, and was made into an unforgettable film in 1951, tells the story of Blanche DuBois, a delusion-prone alcoholic who flees her scandalous past and lost ancestral plantation to seek refuge with her sister Stella in working-class New Orleans. But Blanche’s feminine wiles are no match for the cunning and brutality of her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, who won’t let Blanche’s secrets stay buried back in Mississippi.
