With the New York production of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947, Tennesse Williams's reputation was established once and for all as America's leading dramatist since O'Neil.

The winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and The Drama Critics Circle Award. Streetcar is a work of great lyric power and deep, compassionate understanding. Set in New Orleans, it is one of Tennessee Williams's unsurpassed portraits of a beautiful, sensitive woman in misplaced circumstances--Blance DuBois, whose life is undermined by fantasy and the memory of a tragic love--and the resentment and passion she arouses in her brutish brother-in-law, Stanly Kowalski.

Work Description

A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most remarkable plays of our time. It created an immortal woman in the character of Blanche DuBois, the haggard and fragile southern beauty whose pathetic last grasp at happiness is cruelly destroyed. It shot Marlon Brando to fame in the role of Stanley Kowalski, a sweat-shirted barbarian, the crudely sensual brother-in-law who precipitated Blance's tragedy.

Produced across the world and translated into many languages, A Streetcar Named Desire has won one of the widest audiences in contemporary literature.

Also contained in:
- New Voices in the American Theatre
- Plays 1937 - 1955

Excerpts
