Tennessee Williams
16 Sep 10 to 09 Oct 10
Octagon Theatre
Blanche DuBois arrives unexpectedly on the doorstep of her sister, Stella, in a vibrant corner of post-war New Orleans. A fading Southern belle with apparently refined and delicate sensibilities, Blanche immediately clashes with Stella's volatile husband Stanley. But when he starts to delve into his sister-in-law's past, he makes shocking discoveries that set them on a violent collision course.
As the sound of jazz music from the local bars penetrates the night air, Blanche's hold on reality begins to fade, along with her chances of finding the love she craves.
