'I don't tell what's true, I tell what ought to be true.'
— Blanch
When fragile, fading beauty Blanche comes to stay with her sister Stella and Stella’s hard-drinking, hard-living husband Stanley, the worlds of invented gentility and savage reality burst into a raging fire of brutal sexuality in Tennessee William’s Pulitzer Prize-winning theatrical masterpiece. Sultry New Orleans is the setting for this disquieting yet engrossing classic.
