A Streetcar Named Desire
By Tennessee Williams

Explosive, passionate, and heartrending, A Streetcar Named Desire is modern American theatre at its best. When fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois arrives on the doorstep of her sister Stella’s apartment building in New Orleans, she is unwittingly entering a lion’s den. Wounded by romantic abuses, loss, and dangerous mistakes, Blanche prefers her world kept in dim, flattering light, fuzzy at the edges. She is shocked by Stella’s simple existence, her new low-class habits, and most of all, her crude, simple husband, Stanley. Stanley is fierce and unpredictable, moving from violence to softness in an instant, and he and Blanche begin a cruel, sadistic dance where the only possible end is pain. With his signature poetic prose, muggy Southern Gothic setting, and psychological insight, Tennessee Williams’ mighty play, and his troubled, eccentric heroine, unravel before our very eyes.

A Streetcar Named Desire Audience Feedback
"What a brilliant performance tonight. A few of us from The Little Theatre Nairn were through to watch the play and thoroughly enjoyed it."
"Absolutely brilliant, 1st class acting . Dont' know how you do it. Well done!"
"Well done Florians with the opening night of "Streetcar named Desire" last night. Brilliant acting from all and such an authentic set. Thank you for another great Flos production."
"Thank you for a compelling production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' which we both thoroughly enjoyed as visitors to the Inverness area. We were moved to tears as we left the theatre having absorbed the pain and emotions of the story. It was also good to see money being collected for Women's Aid."
"The Florians A street car named desire! Amazing!!!!! These guys did so well! Enjoy your run!"
"It was definitely worth a special trip from Caithness to see it tonight. Congratulations to all involved. I wouldn't normally single any one person out because I know how much of a team effort it is but Alison Ożóg stole the show for me with her brilliant portrayal of Blanche Dubois declining into a drunken, mentally unbalanced woman in front of our eyes. It was emotionally draining just watching her, I can only imagine how exhausted but proud she must feel. Well done."
"Hello! I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you so much for the tickets on Friday! We absolutely loved the show. I could go on and on but the actors, the set up, the props absolutely everything was just outstanding! We will definitely be back. Thanks so much again!"
"What a phenomenally dramatic staging of this play. Outstanding performances all round bring the script to life and grip the audience from start to finish. Wonderful."
