SYNOPSIS:

In this raw and honest story set in 1940s New Orleans, we meet Blanche Dubois, a woman conflicted and shadowed with her past looking for shelter with her younger sister Stella. After many years apart Blanche appears on her sister’s doorstep with nothing left but the clothes in her suitcase. Blanche appears as a timid southern bell- a withering flower in the sun, but Stella’s volatile husband Stanely sees through her mask digging into Blanche’s past for answers. But will Blanche be able to begin anew with gentle and honest Mitch or will her history determine her future relationships as well. Tennessee Williams's classic masterpiece is full of desire, deception and intensity bringing forth the honesty of the human condition.
