Washington Theater Review
". . . a solid, fast-paced, and moving production. . .sparkles with clarity"
". . . The Keegan Theatre opens a solid, fast-paced, and moving production of Tennessee Williams’ classic confrontation of reality and illusion. . . the production moves quickly, sparkles with clarity, and remains faithful to Williams’ themes. . . As the iconic Blanche, Kerry Waters is compellingly haunted. . . Mark A. Rhea’s Stanley is a perfect counter to Waters’ Blanche. . .Susan Marie Rhea’s . . . Stella is immensely sympathetic and real. . . sensitively conveys Stella’s anguish. . . Eric Lucas stands out as Mitch. . . decision to cast the same actor (Joe Baker) as both the boy newspaper collector (whom Blanche verbally seduces) and the doctor who takes Blanche away at play’s end is inspired. . . .George Lucas’ set . . . is appropriately atmospheric. . . Light and sound design by Dan Martin and Tony Angelini, respectively, add important impressionistic touches in moments of flashback. . .While audiences may know this Streetcar’s destination, the ride is still well worth taking." --Deryl Davis
