A Streetcar Named Desire
of Tennessee Williams
Description
The Pulitzer Prize and Drama Critics Circle Award winning playâreissued with an introduction by Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman and The Crucible), and Williamsâ essay âThe World I Live In.âIt is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appearedâ57 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williamsâ A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her sexy and brutal brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter, and Karl Malden, and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation, as well as that of Elia Kazan as the greatest American stage director of the â40s and â50s.
