Rubber City Theatre will produce the classic Tennessee Williams play, A Streetcar Named Desire from October 12 to October 28, 2018.
The play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject—so far as possible—the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely “normal” young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.
This show is recommended for mature audiences due to themes of domestic violence, addiction, trauma and rape. A panel will be held directly following the Friday, October 19 performance with local agencies and organizations to discuss these difficult issues.
