Anne-Marie Duff stars as Blanche DuBois in BBC Radio 3's landmark
production of Tennessee Williams' masterpiece Tennessee Williams's
iconic play tells the story of a catastrophic confrontation between
fantasy and reality, embodied in the characters of Blanche DuBois
and Stanley Kowalski. Blanche DuBois arrives unexpectedly on the
doorstep of her sister Stella and her explosive brother-in-law
Stanley. Over the course of one hot and steamy New Orleans summer,
Blanche's fragile facade slowly crumbles, wreaking havoc on Stella
and Stanley's already turbulent relationship... Embodying the
turmoil and drama of a changing nation, A Streetcar Named Desire
strips Williams's tortured characters of their illusions, leaving a
wake of destruction in their path. Tennessee Williams's 1947 drama
is one of the most loved and well-known stage plays of the 20th
century. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama
Critics' Circle Award in 1948, and the 1951 film adaptation picked
up four Oscars. In this compelling radio dramatisation, Blanche is
played by Olivier Award-winning actress Anne-Marie Duff, with a
stellar cast including Matthew Needham as Stanley and Pippa
Bennett-Warner as Stella. Cast: Blanche: Anne-Marie Duff Stella:
