Classic & Older Gothic

A Streetcar Named Desire

by Arthur Miller

Tennessee Williams's devastating portrait of Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle clinging to gentility, whose fragile illusions shatter when she encounters her sister's brutish husband Stanley in steamy New Orleans. This landmark American drama explores desire, delusion, and the violent collision between Old South refinement and postwar working-class reality.
