A Streetcar Named Desire

by Tennessee Williams

Synopsis

It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared on Broadway. Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation. This definitive new edition also includes Williams' essay "The World I Live In," and a brief chronology of the author's life.
