Curtain Up An accessible Streetcar...
" . . .the show provides an interestingly accessible -- and perhaps more meaningful -- look into Williams' French Quarter denizens. . . the staging features a wonderfully rundown set as well as costumes, lighting and sound design that creates the landscape of the 1940's. . .in Ms. Waters' capable hands, the role of Blanche suddenly becomes the voice of reason in the play. . . Mr. Rhea's Stanley is a mercenary beast with a short fuse -- cold and calculating -- who in the ending minutes of Act One has seemingly already plotted out his revenge on Blanche . . .just waiting for the right moment to exact it." --Rich See
