A Streetcar Named Desire

An infinitely rich play, artistic Director Anne-Louise Sarks takes on Tennessee Williams’s masterpiece, starring Nikki Shiels as Blanche DuBois.

One of the most critically acclaimed plays of the twentieth century, A Streetcar Named Desire has lost none of its power to provoke and beguile. In revisiting this monumental landmark Sarks and her team – including Michelle Lim Davidson (Torch The Place) and Mark Leonard Winter (Birdland) – will unearth a wealth of rich meanings that only resonate more loudly with the conversations being had across the world today.

From the disfiguring pressure of public expectation to the crippling weight of social roles, this contemporary epic is testament to theatre’s enduring power to hold up a mirror and ask us what we see.
