Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire remains one of the most powerful works in American theater, decades after its groundbreaking 1947 debut. Set in the sweltering streets of New Orleans, the play follows the fragile and fading Blanche DuBois, who seeks refuge in the home of her sister Stella and clashes with Stella’s volatile husband, Stanley Kowalski. As Blanche’s illusions unravel under Stanley’s unrelenting force, the story builds to a harrowing and unforgettable climax.
A Streetcar Named Desire is a haunting exploration of desire, delusion, and the brutal struggle between vulnerability and dominance. This edition features an introduction by Arthur Miller and Williams’ personal essay, The World I Live In, offering deeper insight into the mind behind this American classic.
