The Company of Ten stages A Streetcar Named Desire
TENNESSEE Williams' smouldering Pulitzer Prize-winning drama A Streetcar Named Desire is the next production in The Company of Ten's current season at the Abbey Theatre in St Albans.
The play is set against a background of post-war poverty in downtown New Orleans, where the clash between the values of the Old South and the emerging immigrant population is at boiling point.
Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern Belle, comes to stay with her sister Stella and brutish husband Stanley. Behind her airs and graces, Blanche conceals a dark secret that Stanley sets out to unmask in this vivid drama, which carries a potent mix of raw emotions and sexuality.
The production runs from Saturday, May 10 to Saturday, May 17. Tickets 01727 857861
