Southern schoolmarm Blanche DuBois arrives from Mississippi seeking her sister Stella, whom she finds living in the spackled-over squalor of the French Quarter of New Orleans.
Blanche’s affected refinement sets her at odds with Stella's husband: the WWII-vet-cum-parts salesman Stanley Kowalski.
Stanley is incensed when he learns Stella's inheritance—the family estate—has been forfeited to creditors.
Stanley degrades and demeans Blanche, believing that she sold the estate for personal profit. Blanche resists in the only way she knows: aloof genteel femininity.
The Kowalskis’ Elysian Fields flat swells with sensuality and class tension...until the tiny, sweltering apartment erupts with passion and fury.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play
