About this work of fiction
A Streetcar Named Desire. (Acting Edition for Theater Productions) by Tennessee Williams, Williams, Tennessee is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
<p>The Pulitzer Prize and Drama Critics Circle Award winning play—reissued with an introduction by Arthur Miller (<b>Death of a Salesman</b> and <b>The Crucible</b>), and Williams' essay The World I Live In.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p><P>Williams's classic play begins with Blanche DuBois's arrival in New Orleans to stay with her sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. The determinedly genteel Blanche is shocked by their lower-class lifestyle-and by Stanley's frequently aggressive behavior. As Blanche's secrets catch up with her, a seedy reality trumps her love for romance. Rosemary Harris embodies Blanche with all the flare, attitude and Southern drawl commonly associated with the cultural icon. The role of Stanley is so physical that his presence is diminished by the lack of a visual performance, but James Farentino's Stanley is excellent. The overall production quality is excellent with musical segues and sound effects that enhance without distracting the listeners. This recording captures the cast of the 1973 Broadway revival (which won Harris a Drama Desk award and Farentino a Theatre World award). <I>(Feb.)</I></P>Copyright © Reed Business Infor
