With its raw sexuality, A Streetcar Named Desire broke taboos on stage and screen. Set against the steamy backdrop of New Orleans’ gritty French Quarter, Tennessee Williams’s 1948 Pulitzer Prize–winning drama tells the story of Blanche Dubois, a faded Southern belle driven to madness by her animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FROM THE IRELAND TOUR...

 

"Keegan Theatre presents this dark American Classic with aplomb and pace and they allow it to glisten with Williams's wit and polish.... Kerry Waters restrains Blanche's madness and decay with disciplined poise and gives a gripping portrayal...Mark Rhea as Stanley, more animal than man, prowels and roars through the play with thoroughly convincing physicality and mulishness and Susan Marie Rhea sparkles as his wife Stella..."
--Matthew Harrison, Galway Independent

"...Keegan Theatre captures the sordid and raucous character of the French Quarter under the directing of Mark Rhea and George Lucas's convincing set..."

--Brian Lavery, Irish Times
