A Streetcar Named Desire
What:
The Saint Louis
Premiere of André Previn’s A Streetcar
Named Desire
Desire
is taking on a new rhythm as Tennessee Williams’ play sizzles onto the stage in
the St. Louis premiere of André Previn’s A
Streetcar Named Desire. Set against the backdrop of steamy New Orleans,
this scintillating Streetcar adds a
new level of drama and excitement to Williams’ enduring portrait of sex, class
and secrets. Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves to her sister’s cramped
apartment, creating all the wrong kinds of sparks with her brutish
brother-in-law Stanley. When dark truths about her past begin to emerge,
Blanche’s world comes apart at the seams in a spiral of violence and madness.
