A Streetcar Named Desire - Video Preview
Join the Spotlight Theatre for a staging of an American classic, Tennessee Williams' A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, starting at the Spotlight on May 11th! This celebrated play has had a long and successful run on Broadway and the road. A tragic and effective drama which ranks as one of the greatest in our theatre, the play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois (Sheila McClure), a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject-so far as possible-the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister Stella (Amy Hall), with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely "normal" husband of the latter Stanley (Rikk Cheshire), leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.
