Un tramway nommé désir

Book • 1994
Tennessee Williams's 'A Streetcar Named Desire' is a poignant drama set in post-World War II New Orleans.

The play explores the tragic downfall of Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle haunted by her past.

Seeking refuge with her sister Stella and her brutish husband Stanley Kowalski, Blanche's refined sensibilities clash with Stanley's primal nature, leading to escalating conflicts.

The play delves into themes of illusion versus reality, the decay of the Old South, and the destructive forces of desire and violence.

As Blanche's grip on reality loosens, she becomes increasingly vulnerable to Stanley's manipulations.

The play's raw emotion and powerful characters make it a cornerstone of American theater.
