A Streetcar Named Desire is the story of a beautiful woman betrayed by love.  Blanche DuBois, tormented by the memory of her tragic marriage and the scandal she had precipitated in the small Southern town of her birth, flees to New Orleans to find refuge with her sister. But her sensual, crude brother-in-law resents her presence, and in a violent, passionate rage, exposes her past and cuts off her last chance of escape from the squalid misery of her life.  A Streetcar Named Desire opened on Broadway in 1947 and ran for 855 performances winning the late Tennessee Williams the Drama Critics Award and his first Pulitzer Prize. Williams has been recognized widely as one of the greatest American dramatists beginning with his autobiographical play The Glass Menagerie in 1945 and through such works as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Night of the Iguana, Summer and Smoke, Sweet Bird of Youth, Suddenly Last Summer and many others.  Many critics consider A Streetcar Named Desire his finest achievement.
