A great play by one of America’s most important playwrights. A woman struggles to survive in what she perceives as a world declining into decadence.  Blanche, a former Southern Belle down on her luck and in disgrace, comes to live with her sister, Stella, and her working class husband, Stanley, in a poor neighborhood in mid-century New Orleans filled with colorful, diverse, and passionate people.  Blanche lives more and more in a parallel universe which she has constructed from past recollections and fantasies in a desperate attempt to survive on her own terms. She meets Mitch and hopes that he will save her from the abyss toward which she is cascading. Stanley mistakes Blanche’s desperation for snobbery and an attempt to break up his marriage.  Stella is torn between the two of them.
